1 answer:

6 0

<span>Human cells contain 23 chromosomes and has a total of 46 pairs of chromosomes. The answer is letter A. Depending on the length and morphology, it has seven groups. They are arranged from largest to smallest. It has 22 pairs of homologus chromosomes known as autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes, a total of 23 chromosomes. A male karyotype has a total of 46 chromosomes and gives a pair of XY while a female karyotype has a total of 46 chromosomes and gives a pair of XX. These pairing are responsible to the gender of the offspring.</span>

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive gene 43) in humans. A woman whose fath

LiRa [457]

Answer:

50% or 1/2. The result remains unchanged if the husband were to have G6PD.

Explanation:

For X-linked recessive inheritance, a female (XX) needs two recessive alleles to be affected while a male needs only one (XY). It is hypothetically assumed that the Y chromosome does not carry any trait.

Assuming the allele for the disease is represented by g, a woman whose father suffered from G6PD is a carrier for the disease with genotype $X^GX^g$ . A normal man will have the genotype $X^GY$ . When the 2 marries:

$X^GX^g$ x $X^GY$ = $X^GX^G (normal female), X^GY (normal male), X^GX^g (carrier female), X^gY (affected male)$ It thus means that 50% or 1/2 of their sons will be expected to have G6PD.

Now, assuming the husband has G6PD, the mating becomes:

$X^GX^g$ x $X^gY$ = $X^GX^g (carrier female), X^GY (normal male), X^gX^g (affected female), X^gY (affected male)$ 50% or 1/2 of their sons is still expected to have G6PD. The ratio remains unchanged.

Murljashka [212]

The outward appearance of a trait is called a phenotype.
The phenotype of the organism can differ from the genotype(genetic makeup of a trait). This can happen if one half of the trait is dominant over the other half, creating the trait the dominant side 'codes' for.
