The statement which is true about the inheritance of hemophilia is that it is a recessive trait on the X chromosome. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

<h3>What is Hemophilia?</h3>

Hemophilia may be defined as an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This can lead to spontaneous bleeding as well as bleeding following injuries or surgery.

Hemophilia is significantly caused by the lack of clotting factor VIII or IX in the blood. In most cases, hemophilia is passed down through families (inherited). Most of the time, it is passed to male children. Several women in the family were carriers of the allele for the disorder, only men ended up actually expressing the disorder.

Therefore, the statement which is true about the inheritance of hemophilia is that it is a recessive trait on the X chromosome. Thus, the correct option for this question is C.

What is the significance of the evolution of Hox gene clusters during vertebrate evolution?
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Duplication of Hox genes made increased morphological complexity possible.

Explanation:

  • The hox gene cluster consists of a group of related genes that function to controls the basic body plan of an embryo and also define the head to the tail axis.
  • These are mainly responsible for ensuring the correct position of al the structures in the body.
  • Since the anterior-posterior axis all the vertebrates are established by these hox genes this points out to the fact that common information is needed amongst all he vertebrates to define the various morphological variations that occurred.
  • The hox genes have shown duplication in the course of evolution and they have undergone a four-fold duplication which has led to the generation fo different structures in the various organism and is thus responsible for the increased morphological complexity.

Bumek [7]

Answer:

K = 9.620 × 10⁻⁶

Explanation:

From the given information:

Temperature T= 6° C

= (273 + 6)K

= 279 K

The correct and well presentation of the reactions are:

1. Luciferin + O_2     ⇆     oxyluciferin + light   ΔG₁°

2. ATP                     ⇄   AMP + PP_i                  ΔG₂°  = -31.6 kJ/mol

The overall  ΔG° = -4.80 kJ/mol

Let's first determine the ΔG₁° for the equation (1)

ΔG° = ΔG₁° + ΔG₂°

- ΔG₁° = - ΔG° + ΔG₂°

ΔG₁° = ΔG° - ΔG₂°

ΔG₁° = ( -4.80 - (-31.6) ) kJ/mol

ΔG₁° = 26.8 kJ/mol

Using the formula:

ΔG° = -RTIn K

In \  K =\dfrac{-\Delta G^0}{RT} \\ \\ log \ K = -\dfrac{\Delta G^0}{2.303RT}

log \ K = -\dfrac{\Delta G_1^0}{2.303RT} \\ \\ log \ K = -\dfrac{26.8 \times 10^3 \ J/mol}{2.303\times 8.314 \ J/mol/K \times 279 \ K} \\ \\ log \  K =- 5.017

K = antilog (-5.017)

K = 9.620 × 10⁻⁶

The replica fossil you just created models the actual formation of fossils on Earth. In your replica, what do the clay and the p
LenaWriter [7]

The making of replicas of the original fossils, is pretty much the say way, just different materials, in which the fossils originally have been formed and preserved.

When an organism dies, be it a plant or an animal, it gets fossilized only if very quickly after the death it is covered with sediments or mud. The sediments or the mud protect the plant or animal from the outside influences, so once it is kind of in a vacuum, or protective layer if you will, in which parts of the plant or animal that are long-lasting are preserved.

The clay and plaster used for the replica, work in the same way, because they wrap around the fossil tightly and isolate it from outside influences, with the result being different though, as they just make a copy of the fossil.

(a) What cell structures best reveal evolutionary unity?
xeze [42]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Evolutionary unity-  DNA

2. specialized cellular modifications- plant cells have chloroplasts and large central vacuole.

Explanation:

<u>Case I </u>

Evolutionary unity is a concept which explains that all the organisms possess some common structure or universal structure or molecules.

The best characterized evolutionary molecule is DNA molecule which took the role of genetic material in past and is passed on to the daughter cells and still is made up of the same components which are a five-carbon sugar, four types of nitrogenous bases and a phosphate group. This DNA molecule is present in almost every organism except for a few viruses.

<u>Case II </u>

The specialization of the cellular components depends on the function a cell has to perform which became established in the population. The plant cells depended on the sunlight to prepare food for themselves which was done by the chloroplast organelle which is absent in the animal kingdom.
