What is unusual about the genetically-inherited mitochondrial disease LHON as compared to the genetically-inherited disease sick

le cell anemia?
Biology

Schach [20]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

LHON (Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy): Is a disease that is characterized by loss of vision in young adults.

Sickle cell anemia: Is a disease characterized by production of abnormally shaped red blood cells, that is, not round in shape as normal but are 'sickle' shaped or elongated/crescent shaped.  

Both diseases are heritable But LHON is caused by mutations existing in the mitochondrion thus only inherited maternally.

Sickle cell anemia is caused by mutations in the HBB gene which produces the beta subunit of hemoglobin. It is inherited from recessive genes of both parents.

If the net force an object at rest is zero the object will remain at rest. <br> True or false
FromTheMoon [43]

True

Explanation:

If the net force on an object at rest is zero, the object will remain at rest. This is one of the postulates of newton's law of motion.

 Newton's first law of motion states that "an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless if it is acted upon by an external force. "

  • If no net force acts on a body, it will forever remain at rest.
  • The force on a body causes its motion and acceleration.
  • A body will continue in uniform motion if no external force acts on it.

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism inherited as a completely dominant trait. Two achondroplastic dwarfs have a dwarf child; la
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

There's 25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 75% of it being a dwarf.

Explanation:

Achondroplasia (A) is a dominant trait.

Two achondroplastic dwarfs (A_ x A_) have a dwarf child (A_) and a normal child (aa). The second child must be aa because if it had a dominant allele it would also be dwarf.

The only way for two achondroplastic parents to have a normal child is that <u>they are both heterozygous (Aa) for this gene.</u>

The cross Aa x Aa would produce the following offspring probabilities:

  • 1/4 AA - dwarf
  • 2/4 Aa - dwarf
  • 1/4 aa - normal

So there's 1/4=25% probability that their next child will be normal, and 3/4=75% of it being a dwarf.
