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.

Mutations rII1 and rII2 are known to fall into the rIIA and rIIB cistrons (genes) respectively. Cells of E. coli B are infected
viktelen [127]

Answer:

the answer is A. E. coli B

Explanation:

The multiplicity of infection (MOI) refers to the ratio between the numbers of viruses used to infect <em>E. coli</em> cells and the numbers of these <em>E. coli </em>cells. Benzer carried out several experiments in order to define the gene in regard to function. Benzer observed that <em>E. coli </em>strains with point mutations could be classified into two (2) complementary classes regarding coinfection using the restrictive strain as the host. With regard to his experiments, Benzer observed that rII1 and rII2 mutants (rapid lysis mutants) are complementary when they produce progeny after coinfect E. coli K (where neither mutant can lyse the host by itself). The rII group of mutants studied by Benzer does not produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> K strains that carry phage λ (lysogenic for λ), but they produce plaques on <em>E. coli</em> B strains. This study showed that rIIA and rIIB are different genes and/or cistrons in the rII region.
