Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

  • If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
  • If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: X^{d}X^{d}

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: X^{D}Y.

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one X^{d} from her mother and one X^{D} from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic  X^{D}X^{d} in other words, the probability is 100%.

1. How does the cell membrane allow animals to move without rupturing the cells in the body?
oksian1 [2.3K]

.

Explanation:

1)The cell membrane functions as a semi-permeable barrier, allowing a very few molecules across it while fencing the majority of organically produced chemicals inside the cell. Electron microscopic examinations of cell membranes have led to the development of the lipid bilayer model (also referred to as the fluid-mosaic model). The most common molecule in the model is the phospholipid, which has a polar (hydrophilic) head and two nonpolar (hydrophobic) tails.

2) simple diffusion across the cell plasma membrane. The structure of the lipid bilayer allows small, uncharged substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and hydrophobic molecules such as lipids, to pass through the cell membrane, down the concentration gradient is , by simple diffusion.

3) some molecules, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, can diffuse across the plasma membrane directly, but others need help to cross its hydrophobic or however, because they are charged the polar, they can't cross the phospholipid part of the membrane without help .

4) during fission a copy of the DNA is made and attached to the cell membrane as well. As this cell elongate in preparation for fission, the two DNA copies are pulled apart two opposite ends of the cell. New membrane material is deposited between the two ends of the cell, and a new wall grows between them .

6) example of passive transport and active transport across a cell membrane so, cell membranes are semipermeable meaning they have control over what molecules can or cannot pass through. Some molecules can just drift Inn.

A fish that normally lives in salty water is placed in a tank containing fresh water. What do you think will happen to the cells
lapo4ka [179]

Salt water fish actually drink the salt water, excrete the salt, and are left with unsalted water in their body; they do this because the sea water, through the process of osmosis, draws out water from the body. <span>
When they are placed in fresh water, they continue to drink the water, but since the water is now less saline that the fish, water is no longer being drawn out, and in most cases (especially if the transfer was too quick), will start absorbing water, hence they will typically die. </span>

if two chromosome have equal length and size , and different in gene number would severity of chromosomal abnormalities in this
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Unequal.

Explanation:

The severity of chromosomal abnormalities in these two chromosome are unequal that are equal in length and size but unequal in gene number are because the gene number are different from one another. If the size of gene increase or decrease from the normal range then it will leads to chromosomal abnormalities in the cell so the cells that has normal gene number has normal chromosome as compared to those cells where abnormal gene is present so the chromosomes are abnormal.
