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 normal man. what proportion of their sons is expected to be g6pd?

0.25 of their sons is expected to be g6pd.

Because the sons will inherit only one of their mother's two X chromosomes. The father is normal, so he will pass on a normal allele. The mother has an X-linked recessive allele, so she can only pass on that allele to her daughters, who will not have G6PD deficiency.

The sons will have a 50% chance of inheriting the X chromosome from their mother—that is, they'll get either the normal or G6PD-deficient allele from her. If they get the normal allele from her, then they'll be fine and won't be affected by G6PD deficiency. If they get the G6PD-deficient allele from her, then they'll have G6PD deficiency themselves and be affected by it.

<u>Answer</u>:  

The organic chemicals that helps cell membranes to conserve the internal fluids are phospholipids.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Phospholipids are used to form plasma membrane of the cell. Plasma membrane surrounds the cell contents like various cell organelles, nucleus, ribosomes and proteins. A phospholipid molecules is made up if a polar head containing a phosphate group and the two non-polar tails made of long chains of hydrocarbon of fatty acids.

The another name for plasma membrane is phospholipid bilayer. The polar head is hydrophilic that interactes with polar environment while facing outside the bilayer while the non-polar tail is hydrophobic in nature which makes the internal hydrophobic region of cell membrane which faces inside the bilayer.

Is rice pudding a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
wel
<span>Rice pudding would be an example of a heterogeneous mixture. A heterogeneous mixture means that different constituents of a mixture can be identified. Rice pudding consists of rice suspended in a cream. It is possible to identify the grains of rice and the creamy part of the mixture. A homogeneous mixture looks the same throughout--you cannot identify individual parts or ingredients. The parts of a homogeneous mixture are said to be uniformly distributed. Rainwater and air are examples of homogeneous mixtures.</span>
