Explanation:
Hemophilia is a disease that is characterized by an abnormal blood clotting process. There are many different proteins that are involved in the clotting process and a single mutation or change in one of them could result in serious effects. Hemophilia is characterized by an abnormal version of one of the many proteins involved in the clotting process, the proteins that are commonly affected are the coagulation factor 8 or 9 (VIII or IX). These abnormal proteins are caused by a mutation in the gene (within the DNA) that codifies for the production of each protein. In other words, a mutation in the part of the DNA, (gene F8) will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor VIII and a mutation in the gene F9 will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor IX. Importantly, these mutations could be inherited and could cause hemophilia. Therefore, an error in the DNA and subsequently, an error in the protein will cause hemophilia. Finally, it is important to mention that there are other types of hemophilia that are not caused by the above-mentioned mutations, such as acquired hemophilia.
Answer:
organisms that have a nucleus
Explanation:
eukaryotes have nucleus.
Answer:
1. The parents genotypes could have been BO and AO
2. wire-hair
Explanation:
There are four possible blood types which are type A, B, AB, O. blood group is the classification of blood based on the presence or the absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of the red blood cells. They have hereditary basis and also rely on a series of alternative genes sometimes used in solving dispute of parental heritage. With the four possible blood groups, there are six possible genotypes and these are:
Blood type possible genotypes
Type A AA, AO
Type B BB, BO
Type AB AB
Type O OO
Thus, for parents with blood type B and A to give birth to a child with blood type O, it means their genotype could have been both BO and AO for them to be able to produce a child with OO. a cross between these two could give rise to OO.
Question 2
Wire hair is dominant (S) to smooth (s), thus wire hair could be in the homozygous (SS) and heterozygous form (Ss) and the smooth hair can only be expressed in the homozygous recessive form (ss).
thus, in a cross between homozygous wire haired and smooth haired, we will have:
homozygous wire haired homozygous smooth haired
P gen SS x ss
F1 gen. Ss
phenotype: wire haired
