Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked, recessive condition caused by mutation of the HPRT1 gene responsible for purine metabolism.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

B. The father did not contribute a sex chromosome to his daughter due to nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes. The daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.

A.The mother's X chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis, and the daughter inherited two X chromosomes with the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. The father contributed no sex chromosomes.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, a little girl was diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, which is an X-linked recessive condition caused by a mutation in the HPRT1 gene responsible for purine metabolism.

The little girl's parents do not have the syndrome, and no one in the little girl's paternal family presented this syndrome, however, we know that the maternal grandfather of the little girl's mother had the syndrome, which means that it was the mother's genetic material that contributed to the development of the syndrome in the little girl. This was because the little girl did not receive any X chromosomes from her father, but she inherited the two X chromosomes from her mother that coded for the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. This happened because the mother's X chromosome disjuction did not occur during meiosis I.

As shown above, the father did not contribute any sex chromosomes to his daughter, which means that the daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.

How long does it normally take to process one 12-ounce beer from your system?
Darina [25.2K]

Once the alcohol goes into our system, an ounce of it is process for a period of one hour.

The first stop happens in the stomach where absorption through the gastric lining and bloodstream occurs. Stronger drinks are absorbed more quickly. The second stop happens in the brain where its function decreases/ is increasingly impaired as the BAC or blood alcohol content grows. The third stop will be in the heart. However, it should be noted that it does not receive any physical alcohol, but its effects on the heart are strong. Alcohol is a vasodilator which means it causes blood vessels to dilate. This indicates more blood flow through the body-- but lowers the overall blood pressure. The fourth stop will be in the kidneys where blood is filtered. The fifth stop will be in the bladder where it will excreted from the body. Lastly, the liver is where the rest of alcohol left in your system is broken down. This process is known as metabolizing. The chemical that remains after metabolization is acetaldehyde and the body gets rid it by further metabolizing it into carbon dioxide and water.

Therefore, an ounce of alcohol is processed in our body for 60 minutes or one hour.

what loop prepares the body for change. This is in contrast to a feedback loop that a. brings a parameter back into the set rang
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - negative feedback loop.

Explanation:

A negative feedback loop takes place in the biology when the end product of a particular reaction leads to decrease in the reaction. A negative feedback loop makes system to bring the homeostasis.

Negative feedback loops takes place inside the body of an individual to decrease the function of a particular reaction, it prepared the body for the change that occur in the atmosphere such as pH, temperature and other.

Thus, the correct answer is - negative feedback loop.

Which of the following statements about T lymphocytes is FALSE? Which of the following statements about T lymphocytes is FALSE?
defon

The false statement is: T lymphocytes produce antibody molecules

B lymphocytes produce antibody molecules.

B cells and T cells or lymphocytes are both cells of the adaptive immune system. Progenitor T cells mature (start to express T cell receptors TCRs,  CD4 /CD8 receptors) into T cells in lymphoid organ-thymus. T cell can recognize only those antigens that are presented on antigen-presenting cells, on their surface MHC molecules.

There are three types of T cells: Helper T cells,Cytotoxic T cellsand T regulatory cells.
