Biology

Answer:

Immunodeficiency disorders prevent your body from fighting infections and diseases. This type of disorder makes it easier for you to catch viruses and bacterial infections. Immunodeficiency disorders are either congenital or acquired. A congenital, or primary, disorder is one you were born with.  whereas Opportunistic infections (OIs) are infections that occur more frequently and are more severe in people with weakened immune systems, including people with HIV. Many OIs are considered AIDS-defining conditions.

In humans alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in whichaffected persons produce black urine. Alkapotonuria results from anallele
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a) The genotype of her father = "aa".

The genotype of her mother = "Aa".

The genotype of Sally is "Aa".  

b) 1/2

c) 1/2

Explanation:

a) Sally's father has alkaptonuria. So, the genotype of her father is "aa". Her mother is normal. Since her brother is affected by the disease, he should be homozygous recessive (aa). This means that the mother also has one copy of "a" allele and is heterozygous dominant (Aa). A cross between Aa (mother) and aa (father) would give 50% affected progeny with "Aa" genotype. So, the genotype of Sally is "Aa".  

b) The genotype of her mother= Aa

The genotype of her father = aa

Aa x aa = 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)

So, if Sally's parents have another child, there is a 1/2 probability that this child will have alkaptonuria.  

c) The genotype of Sally = Aa

Genotype of the man Sally marries= aa (since he is affected with alkaptonuria)

Aa x aa= 1/2 Aa (affected): 1/2 aa (normal)

There is a 1/2 probability that their child will have alkaptonuria.

In drosophila, proper anteroposterior and dorsoventral development requires a separate set of maternal effect gene products accu
rosijanka [135]

It is true. In drosophila, distinct sets of maternal impact gene products must accumulate in the proper region of the embryo to ensure proper anteroposterior and dorsoventral development.

<h3>What makes Drosophila unique?</h3>

The use of Drosophila over vertebrate models has many technological advantages;

  • they are simple and affordable to culture in lab settings,
  • have a significantly shorter life cycle,
  • produce huge numbers of externally deposited embryos
  • may be genetically manipulated in a variety of ways.
<h3>Why is Drosophila referred to be the genetic Cinderella?</h3>
  • Drosophila, which means "dew loving," is derived from the Greek word drósos.
  • Fruit flies, or Drosophila melanogaster, are referred to as the genetic Cinderella.
  • This term was given to them because of their 12-day lifetime, ease of culture, and ability to produce numerous offspring from a single reproduction.
