Answer: Although both are X-linked recessive conditions, and therefore more likely in males, with the single X-chromosome. The recessive allele in colour blindness occurs at a higher frequency in the population and is a mild condition. Thus colour blindness does occur to a lesser extent in females because it needs the double recessive condition. DMD is a severe, disabling condition with a limited lifespan, and recessive allele frequency much lower, so the double recessive condition in females is very rare.
Explanation: DMD is an X-linked recessive, “nearly always in males” suggest that it also occurs due to a new mutation or some rare condition e.g. double recessive from an affected father and carrier mother, or inactivation of the normal gene in a heterozygote. It is also found that the defective allele is not completely recessive and that female carriers may exhibit mild to moderate effects.
colour blindness is polygenic, although the genes are all X-linked. It is more common in males than females. Females can carry two recessive alleles and so express the phenotype, but this is uncommon because the frequency of the recessive gene is low.
There are similarities in that both are X-linked recessives, therefore commonly expressed in males, who only have one X chromosome. The gene frequency of the colour blindness recessive is much higher than that of DMD, so the double recessive condition, which affects females, is more likely to be seen with colour blindness. In addition, DMD is a severe condition associated with disability and limited lifespan, which reduces the probability of mating between an affected male and carrier female
Answer: chromatin condenses into chromosomes and can be best observed in prophase.
Explanation: chromosomes can’t be visualised by a light microscope except during cell division (mitosis or meiosis). The individual chromosomes become visible as the chromatin is wound tightly and are most clealry seen in late prophase.
Another difference would be that DNA contains the 5 carbon sugar deoxyribose while RNA usually contains the 5 carbon sugar of ribose. One differs from the other, as ribose has an additional hydroxyl group bonded to one of the carbon atoms, where as deoxyribose does not.
Answer:
bb would be the phenotype white fur
Explanation:
B is dominant over b. It takes two recessive alleles to produce the phenotype of white fur.
The spinal cord is in the backbone (aka spine). The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system
How I remember where the spinal cord is the root of the words spine and spinal cord is similar
Hope this helped!
