...MODULE 5 – G2 – ESSAY DEGREE PROGRAM THEOLOGY/TURABIAN PRESENTED TO PROFESSOR DR. GREG SCHNEEBERGER FOR PHIL 201 – D09 BY REV. JOSEPH T. WHITAKER, III LU23755920 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY LYNCHBURG, VA SEPTEMBER 10, 2015 2 Question One Compare and contrast The Matrix with the readings from Plato and Descartes. What are some similarities and differences? The Matrix describes a fictitious possibility of a virtual existence of the world and especially the world’s human population, unbeknownst by the majority of people involved in the virtual reality known as the Matrix. Certain players in the Matrix scenario are awakened to the proposition that perhaps their life experience is an orchestrated delusion, set into motion by certain governing powers, in an attempt to obtain and maintain absolute control upon the masses. An important character in the Matrix named, Morpheus, brings the deceptive virtual reality to the attention of other participants in the Matrix, in an effort to help awaken them to the real truth of their existence. It is discovered that rather than the daily life experience and existence of the population of the world, the people are actually unconscious of the absolute reality that they are all in a clinical state of suspended animation. This virtual reality of the...

...1. Is it possible for a female carrier to have a daughter who has hemophilia? Explain your answer using terms such as sex-linked inheritance, sex-linked genes, dominant, recessive, and X and Y chromosomes. Sex-linked inheritance is when a gene is located on a sex chromosome, usually a mutated gene that can cause a disorder. The sex chromosomes are X and Y. The combination of two sex chromosomes determines a person’s sex. XX is female and XY is male. Hemophilia is a rare, sex-linked inherited blood clotting disorder that causes blood to clot abnormally resulting in slower clotting. Hemophilia is a recessive disorder that is passed along the X chromosome (National, 2013). A recessive gene will not manifest itself unless paired with a like recessive gene or in an absence of a dominate gene to suppress it. A carrier is a person who has the gene for a disorder, has the ability to pass on the disorder, but does not develop the disorder because there is not a matching recessive gene to activate it and there is a dominant gene to block it. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia will be represented as XXh. If a male is XhY the hemophilia gene on the lone X chromosome is enough for the condition to manifest itself (National, 2013). A woman who is a carrier of hemophilia can give birth to a daughter who has hemophilia only if the male has hemophilia and transmits the recessive gene on his X chromosome. If a woman who is a carrier mates with a man who has the disorder they could have...
