Why are males more often affected by sex-linked traits than females?

Biology
1 answer:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
6 0

In homo sapiens(humans), males are the heterogametic sex meaning their sex chromosomes are not the same(=XY) while females are homogametic(=XX).

Sex linked traits or x linked traits are traits whose genes are present on the X chromosome. So if there is a recessive mutation in those genes, males will express that recessive trait. Basically males express everything that’s on their X chromosome because they only have 1, but females have 2 which helps “hide” the mutation and to not express the particular recessive trait.

That is why sex linked traits are more evident in males in the population and an example of that would be colorblindness.

Hope this helps:)

Describe, and account for the different levels of protein structure. How can proteins serve functions that are so diverse?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

there are four types of protein structure;

  • primary
  • secondary
  • tertiary
  • quatenary

Explanation:

A protein is a very large biological molecule composed of a chain of smaller molecules called amino acids. Thousands of different proteins are present in a cell, the synthesis of each type of protein being directed by a different gene.

Determining the process by which proteins fold into particular shapes, characteristic of their amino acid sequence, is commonly called "the protein folding problem", an area of study at the forefront of computational biology. One approach to studying the protein folding process is the application of statistical mechanics techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to the study of protein folding. Protein folding enables them to perform different diverse functions.

Protein have a three-dimensional structure that enables them to perform diverse functions like transsport,structural support as building blocks and metabolic regulators as enzymes and hormones.

Which of the following scenarios represents the best use of a scientific model?
Pepsi [2]
<span> a. predicting weather patterns</span>. Scientific models are used in making predictions. One way to do this is by analyzing big chunks of data from the past, and see if it can predict the present with accuracy. Computers are often used to create this models because of the huge amount of data that need to be manipulated.

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the?
Anvisha [2.4K]

If a person uses up his or her reserve supply of glycogen and still does not eat, sugar comes from the muscle.

Although only liver glycogen directly contributes to the release of glucose into circulation, maintaining a healthy blood glucose concentration is one of the glycogen's key functions. Since skeletal muscles lack glucose 6-phosphatase, they are unable to release glucose, and muscle glycogen primarily serves as a local energy source for activity rather than a source of fuel to keep blood glucose levels stable while fasting.

In fact, the breakdown of muscle glycogen into lactate allows for its delivery to the liver, where it participates in the maintenance of euglycemia through the process of gluconeogenesis (Cori cycle).
