Red-green color blindness is due to a mutant gene in the X chromosome. An XX female with normal color vision and an XY male with normal color vision have a child with karyotype XXY who is color blind. The likely explanation is that the:_--------.
father was heterozygous for the color-blindness mutation.
mother was heterozygous for the color-blind mutation.
father had CNV of the color-blind mutation.
mother had CNV of the color-blind mutation.
None of the other answer options is correct.
Answer:
mother was heterozygous for the color-blind mutation.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a recessive disorder. This means that it is expressed only in homozygous genotypes. The responsible gene is present on the X chromosomes. A colorblind female would have the genotype X^cX^c where c is the recessive allele of the gene present on the X chromosome responsible for color blindness. A female with genotype X^cX would have normal visible but would serve as a carrier.
Both the female and the male have normal genotype. Since they had a colorblind child, it means that the female was a heterozygous carrier for the trait and imparted the responsible allele to the child. The male can not serve as a carrier for X linked recessive disorder since they have only one copy of the X chromosome. Therefore, the female was a heterozygous carrier.
Answer:
b) Insoluble in water
Explanation:
Lipids or fats are water-insoluble organic molecules and soluble in certain organic substances such as alcohol, ether and acetone.
Lipids can be found in plant and animal foods and should be consumed in a balanced manner. These molecules have functions such as energy reserve, thermal insulation and vitamin absorption.
Lipids are esters, meaning they are composed of one acid molecule (fatty acid) and one alcohol molecule (glycerol or other). They are insoluble in water because their molecules are nonpolar, that is, they have no electric charge and therefore have no affinity for the polar molecules of water.
Answer: Terminal buttons
Explanation: Terminal buttons are the little rounded lump at the most extreme part of a lengthened fiber that cause to cover a wider range from the body of the cell to the terminal furthest parts, thereby conveying neural electrical impulse, which discharges distinct compounds named neurotransmitters. They virtually convert the pulse of electrical energy into chemical signals.
