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

Biology

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:)

Which three of the following entities are acellular?.
arsen [322]

Answer:

Prions archea, viroids bacteria, viruses protists are acellular while fungi is cellular.

While viruses have indeed been closely researched for more than a century for infections of people and animals, most viruses, particularly those that infect microorganisms, are still poorly understood. 

Pathogenic RNA molecules are known as viroids. Contagious protein particles are identified as prions. Viruses are larger than that of viroids. Viroids are larger than prions in size.

Molds, wild yeasts, as well as mushrooms are examples of fungi. Numerous fungi are multicellular and also have nuclei in their cells. A protein-encased DNA or RNA core defines viruses being non - cellular organisms. Some scientists disagree with the notion that viruses are living things.
