A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of one type of colorblindness (denoted by Xc). Let the genotype for no

rmal vision be denoted by X+. Suppose a mother with normal vision (X+Xc) and a father with normal vision (X+Y) reproduce. Their child's possible genotypes can be illustrated with the following Punnett square. Punnett square If they have a daughter, her chance of having this type of colorblindness is %.

The scenario will be Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son

<h3>What is color blindness?</h3>

The condition is frequently inherited. Certain eye diseases and medications are also possible causes. Men are more affected than women.

Color blindness is characterized by the inability to distinguish between red and green shades.

A colorblind man's genotype is XcY, and a heterozygous carrier female's genotype is XcX. A cross between XcY and XcX would result in progeny with the following ratio=

Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Thus, the couple is likely to have a son who is half normal and half affected. Similarly, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.

How is the atomic number obtained?
dybincka [34]
Atomic number, the number of a chemical element in the periodic system, whereby the elements are arranged in order of increasing number of protons in the nucleus. Accordingly, the number of protons, which is always equal to the number of electrons in the neutral atom, is also the atomic number.

Cellular respiration is the process that converts nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a storage molecule that provides
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Plants perform photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Explanation:

  • Cellular respiration is the conversion of glucose into ATP and energy yielding molecules such as NADH and FADH2 along with water and oxygen and carbon dioxide as by-products.
  • Cellular respiration is a process that occurs both in autotrophs and heterotrophs.
  • Only the final stage of cellular respiration i.e. oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport chain requires oxygen as the final electron acceptor.
  • Heterotrophic cells don't take in carbondioxide, they utilize glucose obtained through food.

The area of the muscle fiber where the actin and myosin myofilaments overlap is
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.

In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.

In I-band 2 Z-lines are located.  The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.

When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.
