Answer:

A.) Only his son would have the gene for the syndrome.

Explanation:

This is because during sexual reproduction (that is, between humans), the mother and father each donate a sex chromosome. The mother can only donate an X chromosome since her sex chromosomes are entirely X chromosomes, and the father can donate either an X or Y chromosome since his sex chromosomes are X and Y. Thus, because a male has the sex chromosomes X and Y whereas a female has the sex chromosome X and X, the male must donate a Y chromosome for a son to be born; otherwise he donates an X chromosome and the baby is female. As you can see, because the gene is on a Y chromosome and the father carries and passes it (only to a son), only his son would have the gene for the syndrome.

"In proteins, structural segments called ____ provide flexibility that allow parts of the protein to bend, fold, or move."
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

The correct answer is "random coils".

Explanation:

Random coil is a type of polypeptide secondary structure comprised of conformation that do not follow an established conformation but rather are oriented randomly. These random coils conformations provides flexibility to proteins, since the lack of a particular structure (such as alpha helices or beta sheets), allows the protein to bend, fold or move.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a serious condition caused by a recessive allele of a gene on the human x chromosome. the patient
dedylja [7]
Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.

if a flower were orange would it more likely be pollinated by insects or by the wind give at least one reason for your answer
yan [13]

It would more likely to be pollinated by insects.


This is because the bright color of the petals can attract insects towards the flower thus sticking some pollen grains and transfer them to the stigma (female part of flower).


On the other hand, the color of petals do not really have effect on the wind pollination. Therefore this explains why wind pollinated flowers usually have small or dull colored petals.
