Answer:

1. T cells

2. B cells

Explanation:

With increased age, people become more prone to all infections and produce fewer responses for vaccines. This is due to the lowered levels of function of immune systems against the infections.

With increased age, thymus atrophy and/or hyposecretion of hormones from thymus gland result in reduced activity of T cells against infections. Less number of T cells respond to infections.

The reduced T cell production also makes the B cells less responsive. Reduced responses of B cells towards infection results in slower immune response as antibody levels do not rise quickly.

Answer:

Mitosis and meiosis are similar at the level of writing, and possess a very close mechanism; however, they do not achieve the same result!

Mitosis corresponds to a single "asexual" cell division of somatic cells (almost all cells in the body), and clones two daughter cells from a mother cell, which will be identical, and inherit exactly the same heritage genetic, indeed these two daughter cells will each have an identical karyotype (same chromosomes) and an identical genotype (same alleles) to that of the mother cell.

Meiosis corresponds to two successive "sexual" cell divisions affecting only germ cells; starting from a diploid cell (chromosomes present in pairs), meiosis leads to the formation of four gametes (haploid sexual cells, spermatozoa or oocytes) (a single copy of the chromosomes). Then, during fertilization, two gametes (each from meiosis, in the male and female) come together to form a zygote, in which diploidy will be restored.

The right answers are:

create two identical cells ==> mitosis

create four non-identical cells ==> meiosis

create haploid cells ==> meiosis

creates diploid cells ==> mitosis

occurs in all cels other tha gametes ==> mitosis

occurs in all cells related to sexual reproduction ==> meiosis

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked, recessive condition caused by mutation of the HPRT1 gene responsible for purine metabolism.
Elanso [62]

Answer:

B. The father did not contribute a sex chromosome to his daughter due to nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes. The daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.

A.The mother's X chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis, and the daughter inherited two X chromosomes with the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. The father contributed no sex chromosomes.

Explanation:

As seen in the question above, a little girl was diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, which is an X-linked recessive condition caused by a mutation in the HPRT1 gene responsible for purine metabolism.

The little girl's parents do not have the syndrome, and no one in the little girl's paternal family presented this syndrome, however, we know that the maternal grandfather of the little girl's mother had the syndrome, which means that it was the mother's genetic material that contributed to the development of the syndrome in the little girl. This was because the little girl did not receive any X chromosomes from her father, but she inherited the two X chromosomes from her mother that coded for the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. This happened because the mother's X chromosome disjuction did not occur during meiosis I.

As shown above, the father did not contribute any sex chromosomes to his daughter, which means that the daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.
