Biology

scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Each amino- acid contain carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. All the amino- acids are mostly the same by structure because all contain a carbon atom in its center, an amine group, and a carboxyl group.

The unique characteristics that each amino acid has is determined by the R group(side chain) which is attached to its alpha carbon. The R group in each amino acid is different from others.  

The simplest amino acid is glycine which does not have any R group so it has a hydrogen atom in place of the R group. So side chain(R group) determines the unique characteristics of each amino acid.

A family has a Y-linked disease that affects the father. What is the chance of a male offspring inheriting the same disease?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

A sex-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the sex chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes). This means that that trait is only inherited by offsprings of a particular sex. In this question, a family is said to have a Y-linked disease that affects the father.

Note that, Y chromosomes are only present in the male sex, meaning that a father will always transfer its Y chromosome to all his male offsprings. Since this disease (trait) is on the Y chromosome, it means that all male offsprings i.e. 100% of this father will have the disease.
