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.

Which of the processes are coupled (i.e. LINKED) in prokaryotic organisms but uncoupled (i.e. UNLINKED) in eukaryotic organisms?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Transcription & translation (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Prokaryotic organisms do not have membrane-bound organelles such as the nucleus, thus the process of transcription & translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Also because of the need for rapid life cycle, the mRNA molecules start to be made, & their ribosomes are ready to start making proteins more rapidly than Eukaryote, thus the process of the couple is quicker.

In eukaryotic organisms, transcription process start (happens) inside the nucleus of the cell and translation process can't start until the mRNA is transported out from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

In most vertebrate neurons, an action potential arrives at the axon terminal and causes the release of chemical messenger molecu
erik [133]

The correct answer is option d, that is, neurotransmitters.  

A neurotransmitter refers to a chemical component, which is discharged at the terminal of a nerve fiber by the introduction of a nerve impulse, and by diffusing across the junction or synapse. It helps in the transfer of the impulse to another muscle fiber, nerve fiber, or some other composition. Acetylcholine is a kind of neurotransmitter, that is, used by neurons in the CNS and the PNS in the control of activities ranging from heart rate and muscle contraction to digestion and memory.
