Answer: Although both are X-linked recessive conditions, and therefore more likely in males, with the single X-chromosome. The recessive allele in colour blindness occurs at a higher frequency in the population and is a mild condition. Thus colour blindness does occur to a lesser extent in females because it needs the double recessive condition. DMD is a severe, disabling condition with a limited lifespan, and recessive allele frequency much lower, so the double recessive condition in females is very rare.
Explanation: DMD is an X-linked recessive, “nearly always in males” suggest that it also occurs due to a new mutation or some rare condition e.g. double recessive from an affected father and carrier mother, or inactivation of the normal gene in a heterozygote. It is also found that the defective allele is not completely recessive and that female carriers may exhibit mild to moderate effects.
colour blindness is polygenic, although the genes are all X-linked. It is more common in males than females. Females can carry two recessive alleles and so express the phenotype, but this is uncommon because the frequency of the recessive gene is low.
There are similarities in that both are X-linked recessives, therefore commonly expressed in males, who only have one X chromosome. The gene frequency of the colour blindness recessive is much higher than that of DMD, so the double recessive condition, which affects females, is more likely to be seen with colour blindness. In addition, DMD is a severe condition associated with disability and limited lifespan, which reduces the probability of mating between an affected male and carrier female
Answer:
Triglycerides
Explanation:
Fat cells are also called Adipose cells. They are cells found all over the body and majorly functions in the storage of energy storing substances called TRIGLYCERIDES. Triglycerides are a type of lipids composed of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids molecules.
Triglycerides, like every other lipid, are biomolecules that store a large amount of energy. However, they are stored in specialized cells called FAT OR ADIPOSE CELLS.
Answer:
Their spores are produced in sac-shaped structures.
Their spores are produced in club-shaped structures.
Their reproductive cells have flagella.
Their reproductive cells have several nuclei.
They live in wet places.
They live in dry places.
Explanation:
The Chytridiomycota, often called chytrids, are unique among all fungi in having motile stages in their life cycles; no other fungi have this trait. These motile stages take the form of zoospores, single cells with a single posterior (at the rear) flagellum.
Answer: 0.04metres
Explanation:
The wavelength of a wave is the distance covered by the wave after one complete cycle. It is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ
Recall that Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ
V = F λ
Make λ the subject formula
λ = V / F
In this case Frequency = 0.4 kHz
Convert kilohertz to hertz by multiplying 0.4 by 1000 i.e (0.4 x 1000Hz) = 400Hz
Velocity of wave = 16 m/s
So, λ = V / F
λ = 16 m/s / 400Hz
λ = 0.04metres
Thus, the wavelength of a wave is 0.04metres
<span>D is the correct answer. Coral reefs need sunlight to grow, so they grow best in shallow water (up to 50m deep) as this means sunlight can reach them. They require salt water to grow and warm temperatures of 20 - 32 degrees Celsius.</span>
