Answer:
b. Frank received the mutant chromosome from his father. Nondisjunction occurred in his father during the first meiotic division.
Explanation:
As you can see in the question above, Frank has Klinefelter syndrome which causes him to have normal skin patches and skin patches without sweat glands. Her mother has completely normal hair, which may indicate that the defective gene was not supplied by her. In addition, Frank's father has anhydrotic ectodermal dysplasia, an X-linked condition where the skin does not contain sweat glands.
Although Frank's father's defective gene is linked to the X chromosome, it is likely that Frank inherited the defective gene from his country. This may have occurred because during meiosis I, his father's genes did not show disjunction. As a result, Frank presents a mosaic of his phenotype, because an inactivation of the X chromosome occurred.
The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.
The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.
Explanation:
Data given:
Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll
One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll
one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL
The traits in offspring is shown as:
L l
L LL Ll
l Ll ll
The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.
The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.
I do not think the industrial and agricultural revolutions could have occurred without the environmental costs. The industrial revolution in the 18th century occurred at a time in history when people where not aware of the consequences of their actions or the consequences of the widespread use of fossil fuels. Even if they were aware the technology would not have been present to harness power from natural renewable sources of energy.
