E. 0%

X-linked dominant disorders are not very common in females because it has to be on BOTH of their alleles in order to occur phenotypically.

Because you get one chromosome from your mom and another one from your dad, it would be impossible for the daughter to get the disorder because the dad doesn’t have it on his X chromosome to pass on to her.

In the case of the daughter, the focus is whether or not the dad has the disorder, the mom isn’t as relevant. However, if you were talking about a son, it would be a different story.

Hope this helps :)

givi [52]

Answer:

Myelination

Explanation:

The covering of myelin around the axons is called the myelin sheath. This myelin sheath helps in transfer of information faster and also in complex  processes of the brain. The process of myelination begins in the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

The myelinated section are seperated from each other with a gap called nodes of ranvier. Glial cells (oligodendrocytes) forms the myelin sheath in the central nervous system and schwann cells (glial cells) forms the myelin sheath in peripheral nervous system. The propagation of electrical impulse in the myelinated fibers is by saltatory conduction that is from one node to another.

Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.

Which of these statements is
suter [353]

The statement that is true is active transport moves against the concentration gradient.

<h3>WHAT IS ACTIVE TRANSPORT</h3>

Active transport is one of the two types of cellular transport that involves the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient.

This moves that movement occurs from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. Since movement is against a concentration gradient, it involves input of energy (ATP).

Therefore, the statement that is true is active transport moves against the concentration gradient.
