Offspring inherit<u> one copy of each </u><u>gene</u><u> from both parents</u> if one or both parents passes on a gene with DNA that does not code for functional proteins, disorders like phenylketonuria can result.

<h3>How do parents pass on one copy of each gene to their children?</h3>

Their mother passes one copy on to them through the egg, while their father passes the other one along (via the sperm). Each egg and sperm have a single set of 23 chromosomes. Two copies of each chromosome and two copies of each gene are present when the sperm fertilizes the egg, resulting in the formation of an embryo.

An autosomal recessive metabolic genetic condition called phenylketonuria (PKU) is defined by a mutation that renders the gene for the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) inactive.

which classification groups have linear chromosomeswhich classification groups have linear chromosomes
aleksklad [387]

Until recently, prokaryotes did not contain linear plasmids or chromosomes, but they have since been discovered in spirochaetes, Gram-positive bacteria, and Gram-negative bacteria. Bacterial linear DNA has been classified into two structural kinds. Each end of linear plasmids from the spirochaete Borrelia has a covalently closed hairpin loop, while each end of linear plasmids from the Gram-positive filamentous Streptomyces has a covalently connected protein. In eukaryotic cells, replicons with comparable structures are more common than in prokaryotes. However, linear genomic architectures are likely more widespread in bacteria than previously thought, and some replicons may be able to switch between circular and linear isomers. The molecular biology of these widely scattered pieces reveals information about the origins of linear DNA in bacteria, including evidence of prokaryote-eukaryotes genetic exchange.
