Type the correct answer in the box. Spell the word correctly. How do X linked diseases affect females? In case of X linked disea

ses, the X chromosome bears the disease mutation. Females have XX chromosomes and males have XY chromosomes. In females, along with the X chromosome with genetic mutation a healthy X chromosome is also present. Therefore, we see females are mostly......... Of the disease.

Answer:

The correct answer would be carriers of the disease.

Explanation:

It is already explained in question that in X linked or sex-linked diseases, the X chromosome carries the mutation. We already know that females carry two copies XX of the X chromosome while males carry one copy of the X chromosome and one copy of the Y chromosome.

If a male has affected the X chromosome with the Y chromosome it will express the disease however, with normal X chromosome he will be unaffected. While females have two copies of the X chromosome so if along with mutated X chromosome a healthy X chromosome is also present, she will be a carrier of the disease.

Thus, The correct answer would be carriers of the disease.

What did darwin believe was the primary cause of evolution?
lesya692 [45]

→ Darwin believed that the need to adapt, in similar words, the changes occruing in the environment caused evolution.

The main cause of evolution, according to Darwin, was natural selection. Natural selection is a process in which a group of organisms with certain characteristics survive and thrive, in comparison to other organisms with different characteristics. This idea basically means that having some characteristics makes you suited for an environment.


And how would that ↑ explain Evolution?

Well, evolution is the change in species that occurs during time. But for you to change, there must be a cause for that change, which is none other than the need to survive, reproduce, etc.


→ As mentioned before, not all characteristics are enough to surive, and hopefully the image pasted below will help you.



Hope it helped,

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Hyphae: Cell filaments,mostly septate

Mycelium: Mass of hyphae

Molds: mostly filamentous, Yeasts: non-filamentous,unicellular fungi

Budding yeasts divide asymmetrically.

Dimorphic fungi: yeast-like at 37°C, mold-like at 25°C.

Fungal spores are reproductive spores (unlike bacterial spores). Used to differentiate fungi.

Growth in acidic, low-moisture, high osmotic pressure environments.

The thallus (body) of a mold or fleshy fungus consists of long filaments of cells joined together; these filaments are called hyphae. Hyphae can grow to immense proportions. The hyphae of a single fungus in Oregon extend across 3.5 miles.

In most molds, the hyphae contain cross-walls called septa (singular: septum), which divide them into distinct, uninucleate (one-nucleus) cell-like units. These hyphae are called septate hyphae. In a few classes of fungi, the hyphae contain no septa and appear as long, continuous cells with many nuclei. These are called coenocytic hyphae. Even in fungi with septate hyphae, there are usually openings in the septa that make the cytoplasm of adjacent "cells" continuous; these fungi are actually coenocytic organisms, too.

Mycelium a mass of long filaments of cells that bring and intertwine, typically found in molds.
