The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use.
Food is broken down into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.
Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.

Interestingly, even though hemophilia in the royal families began in England, they were actually the only one of these four fami
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>Alice's daughter Alix =X X*   </h2><h2>George V= XY </h2><h2>Progeny  are;</h2><h2>XX, XY, X*X, X*Y </h2><h2>50 % males would be  infected </h2><h2>50% male normal</h2><h2>50% female normal, </h2><h2>50 female carrier. </h2>

Explanation:

Hemophilia is an inherited disease and it follows  an X-linked recessive pattern. The genes for hemophilia disease are located on the X chromosome. In males one mutated copy of the chromosome X  is sufficient to cause the condition, because male contain only one gene. Female  contain XX chromosome, so both the chromosome must have mutated for causing this disease.

According to  study of  Queen Victoria (1891-1901) of England, Alice's daughter Alix was X linked carrier and George V was normal male,

so if they got married, their children would be  

parents genotype  X X*   XY

progeny  

XX, XY, X*X, X*Y

50% males would be  infected

50% male normal

50% female normal,

50 female carrier.
