Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A hemophilic male produces offspring with a carrier female. What are the chances that the fema

le offspring will suffer from hemophilia? What about the male offspring? Make a Punnett square to show your work.

Hemophilia is a X-linked recessive trait. I will denote it as XA for dominant and Xa for recessive.

Hemophilic male: Xa Y
Carrier female: XA Xa

Cross:

Xa Y
XA XaXA XAY
Xa XaXa XaY

Thus, as shown, of the ratio of two possible female offspring genotypes for Hemophilia, only 1/2 will have the disease; the chance is therefore 50%.

The ratio for male offspring genotypes for Hemophilia is 1/2 as well; the chance is therefore 50%.

Females have a 50 percent chance of being hemophilic. Males have a 50 percent chance as well. All of the female offspring will carry the trait for hemophilia.

Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Mitochondrial DNA contains 37 genes, all of which are essential for normal mitochondrial function. Thirteen of these genes provide instructions for making enzymes involved in oxidative phosphorylation.

DNA sequences can act as "tape measures of evolution". Some highly conserved regions of the human genome (similar to comparable
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Explanation:

The DNA contains many regulatory sequences that are very important, even though they do not code for proteins.

For example, the expression of every gene is regulated by a region called the Promoter. The promoter sequence, located close by the coding region of the gene, usually binds the RNA polymerase (the enzyme that transcribes genes into mRNA) as well as other proteins necessary for transcription,

The promoter sequence, thus, does not itself code for proteins, but is essential for transcription and must be highly conserved so that the RNA polymerase can find it.

How does the enzyme telomerase meet the challenge of replicating the ends of linear chromosomes?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C) It catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres, compensating for the shortening that could occur during replication without telomerase activity.

Explanation:

While replicating, the ends of the chromosomes always lose a part of the ends, therefore, the telomerase catalyzes this growing process, somehow compensating the information that will be lost.
