Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human X chromosome. The patient

s have muscles that weaken over time because they have absent or decreased dystrophin, a muscle protein. They rarely live past their 20s. How likely is it for a woman to have this condition? O One-half of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition. O Very rarely: it is rare that an affected male would mate with a carrier female. Women can never have this condition. O One-fourth of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition. Only if a woman is XXX could she have this condition.

Answer:

One-half of the daughters of an affected man would have this condition.

Explanation:

Each daughter born to a woman that is positive for a dystrophin mutation on one of her two X chromosomes possess a 50 percent likelihood of possessing the mutation and also becoming a carrier. Carriers at times do not show the disease symptoms but may give birth to a child that has the mutation or the disease condition. DMD carriers do have a higher chance of cardiomyopathy.

A man with DMD cannot transfer the affected gene to his sons since he passes to his son a Y chromosome, not the X chromosome. But he will definately transfer it to his daughters, since each daughter possess her father’s only X chromosome resulting in the daughters being carriers.

Hence, One-half of the daughters of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.

Imagine that y-axis of each graph describes the rate of photosynthesis. Which of the graphs represents the
astraxan [27]

Answer:

a. <u>A</u><u> describes the effect of light intensity on photosynthesis.</u>

Explanation:

In plants and other primary producers, photosynthesis is a biological mechanism that is vital to energy production. Energy-containing carbohydrates are derived from light, water and carbon dioxide in the form of glucose molecules.

The waste product oxygen is released as a result. Photosynthesis depends on many variables, including:

  • carbon dioxide concentration,
  • ambient temperature
  • and light intensity

It is a rate-limited reaction. Since photons or particles of light provide the energy required for the reaction, high intensities of light increase the photosynthetic rate. From the graph shown, as <u><em>the intensity increases steadily, so does the rate</em></u>- but at too high of an intensity, it ceases to affect the rate of photosynthesis, which becomes constant or plateaus.

Beyond this point, either the supply of <em>carbon dioxide or the temperature</em> limits the reaction. For instance, at high intensities tissues may even be damaged by high temperatures or heat.

How is instructions for your traits carried on DNA molecule​
Anna007 [38]
DNA carries all of the information for your physical characteristics, which are essentially determined by proteins. So, DNA contains the instructions for making a protein. In DNA, each protein is encoded by a gene (a specific sequence of DNA nucleotides that specify how a single protein is to be made).
