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.

Removal of phloem tissue leads to gradual death of the plant. Why does this happen?
pogonyaev
The phloem is essential for transporting sugars the plant has made to other areas of the plant, this is necessary as some areas of the plant cannot perform photosynthesis or perform it at a much slower rate. E.g. the roots can't perform photosynthesis to get the sugars it needs because they aren't exposed to light, but they still need energy to function and without sugar transport by the phloem they would not get this so areas of the plant would die

Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the 20 amino acids found in proteins differ in the composition of their R groups, which may be either polar or charged.

Explanation:

Since the proteins are polymers joined by a big number of amino acids, all the joins occur the same way because in all the amino acids there is always one part that is exactly the same in all of them.

The rest of the molecule in the amino acids, the R group, is different in each one, that is the characteristic of each one, and this is the part that can give the name and some other chemical properties.
