Answer:

The female will not inherit a sex linked disorder if her father suffers rather "have chances or the disorder if the mother is the carrier" for the disorder.

Explanation:

A female has 2 X chromosome, which she got from her parents each. The females will get the disorder or the defective gene if the mother has defective X chromosome or if the father is carrying the same disorder from his father(grandfather). In both the cases the female will be the carrier and have chances to inherit the defect to the offspring. But the female will  not affect as the  male will. As the female has 2 X chromosomes, and hence the dominant X will compensate for the error in recessive X.

Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase makes sense?
Sauron [17]

The enzyme known as DNA polymerase is responsible for creating DNA from nucleotide monomers. The enzyme's functions are indicated by its name, DNA polymerase. The term "DNA" refers to the fact that it generates DNA utilising nucleotides. "Polymer" signifies that the enzyme is converting monomeric nucleotides into a polymer molecule. Lastly, "ase" refers to an enzyme.

<h3>What role does DNA polymerase play ?</h3>

The primary role of DNA polymerases is to preserve the genome and guarantee that the genetic code is reliably transmitted from one generation to the next.

  • The essential enzyme for replication in eukaryotes is DNA polymerase. Additional DNA polymerases are used for primer removal, repair, and proofreading.

Explain Gynecomastia in males.
PolarNik [594]

Gynecomastia is an increase in the size of the mammary gland in men. The condition can occur in one or both breasts. It starts as a small mass under the nipple, which can be sensitive. One breast can be bigger than the other. Its cause is an imbalance between the stimulatory effects of estrogen (female sex hormones) and the inhibitory effects of androgens (male sex hormones) in the breast tissue, when the first ones increase, or the second ones descend.

Gynecomastia is a problem relatively common in the population, and there are three prevalence peaks throughout life:

Newborns: Between 60 and 90% of newborns have gynecomastia, produced by the passage of maternal estrogens through the placenta. It is a transient gynecomastia that disappears in about 2-3 weeks.

Puberty: Gynecomastia in puberty affects mainly young people aged between 10 and 14 years, and is due to the transient and physiological increase in estrogen that occurs at this age.

Elderly: Is due to an increase in fatty tissue with a greater peripheral aromatization ( a process that occurs in adipose tissue and that involves the conversion of androgens into estrogens), a decrease in the production of testosterone by the testes and the use of drugs.
