A mutation in a gene for normal production of plant chlorophyll results in a plant without chlorophyll. Explain the consequences

1 answer:

5 0

A plant without chlorophyll would not be able to photosynthesise because chlorophyll serves to absorb sunlight, which is used to break apart the bonds in water during photosynthesis. A plant that is unable to photosynthesise is not able to create glucose, hence it would likely die unless it was receiving glucose through another source. This is because the plant relies on the energy it gets from breaking down glucose for important internal functions.

Together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as ________. together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as ________

Gennadij [26K]

Together, inhalation and exhalation are referred to as breathing. Inhalation is the process of breathing where air moves into the lungs through the nose and the mouth. This causes an increase in the volume of air in the lungs, meaning the pressure will decrease, thus the air then moves to the lungs. Exhalation on the other hand is the flow of the breath out of an organism, for example in humans it is the movement of air from the lungs out of the airways, to the external environment during breathing.

If a father is affected by an X-linked dominant condition and the mother is not, which children can inherit the condition?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

only females

Explanation:

In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.

Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).

N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.
