How Can Sex-Linked Traits Be Identified

Biology
1 answer:
kkurt [141]2 years ago
5 0

If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.). The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

drek231 [11]
Based on the information above, the correct answer to the question would be a. Percy will likely make an external attribution. Since he does not remember anything that would cause him to think that he can be a reason why one of his windows is broken, then he most probably will attribute it towards an external event.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

This happens because viruses mutate and vary according to the environment they face. That is why different strains occur and appear every day, which must be updated in the vaccines, in order to have immunity up to date and keep up with the viral mutation without making us sick.

Explanation:

Viruses are acellular structures that do not have their own metabolism or replication method, it is because they must dominate and invade the human body so that its DNA or RNA is coupled to the human and this uses the human machinery to be able to replicate.

On the other hand, as infections occur and viruses appear, they can associate with bacteria forming bacteriophages, they can mutate within an organism that is infected by more than one viral infection and they can even adopt retrovirus mechanisms, which day by day. These new viruses are called as new strains, which evolve and will have to be coupled with vaccines.

Vaccines are a method of natural ACTIVE immunity, that is, part of the virus is inoculated, so that it generates the formation of a specific antibody in the body.

Humans and hogs have differences in only 1 out of the 51 amino acids in their insulin proteins. Hogs and guinea pigs have differ
balu736 [363]

Humans are more closely related to hogs than hogs are to guinea pigs.

Explanation:

The difference in the amino acid sequence of a protein is used to know the  relation between organism i.e. how closely they are related.

It is known that proteins are the result of DNA sequence ie genes of the organism.

The gene or protein is compared between organisms to understand the evolutionary evidence and similarities between them.

The less is the difference the more is the two organisms closely related as in the case of hog and human which have only 1 amino acid difference in their insulin enzyme. While guinea pig is having  a difference of 17 amino acids so it is expected to be distantly related.

These relations helps the scientist to resolve the issues of crisis say insulin. They zero out the possibility of extracting the enzyme genes of possible organism and increase the yield.
