STI or Sexually Transmitted Infection is an infectious disease acquired by getting in sexual contact with an infected person. STIs can be prevented and there are many practices that can lower someone's risk of becoming infected. Here are three practices that have been proven effective:
1. Have yourself tested regularly. Regular assessment and check up is necessary once you become active in sex. This is to ensure that you are not infected since relying on symptoms is useless because it is most of the time asymptomatic. Early detection is also the aim of regular check ups.
2. Protect yourself. Always use condoms and other means of protection when engaging in sex. You will never know if your partner is infected or not.
3. Vaccinations. Vaccinations have been proven in lowering the risk of acquiring diseases. Be informed about the latest vaccines for STIs and have yourself vaccinated.

Answer:

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Therefore, the couple is likely to have 50% normal son and 50% affected son. Likewise, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.

Describe some of the modifications that polypeptide chains undergo before becoming functional proteins

umka2103 [35]

Polypeptide chains undergo some modifications before they become fully functional. Some of these modifications include: proteolytic cleavage, lipidation and glycosylation. Proteolytic cleavage refers to the removal of some amino acids from a polypeptide chain by proteases in order for the protein to become active. An example of a substance that is modified through this process is insulin.
