Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father

suffered from G6PD marries a man who has the disease. What proportion of their sons would have the disease? (A) 100 % (B) 1 / 2 (C) 1 / 4 (D) zero

The proportion of their sons having the disease would be <u>zero.</u>

The 46 chromosomes found in human cells could be divided into two groups: autosomes (44) as well as sex chromosomes (2). In contrast to bacterial chromosomes, human chromosomes are typically linear. Such as bacteria, they could be housed inside the nucleus.

Let's refer to the dominant gene as XG as well as the mutant allele as Xg due to the X-linked recessive characteristic. The woman most likely possesses the genotype XG/Xg, having Xg coming from her father as well as XG from just a healthy mother.

The husband would belong to the genotype Xg/Y should he have a G6PD deficiency. A Punnett square can be utilized to estimate the genotypes of offspring due to our being aware of the parental genotypes.

This would not change the estimated percentage of sons who will be affected because the father sometimes doesn't pass on his X chromosome to their sons.

Which statement is an example of cell division at work?
dybincka [34]

Explanation:

C. A cut in skin heals

This process involves wound healing and tissue regeneration of somatic cells via mitosis.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells.

This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained. This process occurs regularly in somatic cells for growth, or  to repair damaged tissue.

Given the findings in the passage, which additional result most strongly indicates that the TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 receptors regulate
zysi [14]

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The first experiment of the passage shows that treatment with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 antagonists led to lower levels of epithelial cell production. For this conclusion to be strongly valid, we want to show a positive correlation between TGFBR activity and epithelial proliferation.
