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 :)

Genes a, b, and c are known to be in that linear order in an organism. A testcross is done that yields 20 double crossover proge
larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

The observed frequency of the double crossovers (DCOs) is 20/1000, or 0.02. If there is no interference then this will be the same as the expected, which is just the product of the single crossover frequencies, that is, SCO frequency (a-b) x SCO freq. (b-c) = 0.02.

(a) Any combination of map distances whose product (a-b) x (b-c) = 0.02 is possible. However, three are most likely:

a 20 mu b 10 mu c

a 10 mu b 20 mu c

a 14.14 mu b 14.14 mu c

(b) The distances would be exactly the same.

(c) The expected number of DCO progeny would be 17.

Answer:

I think it all comes down to a moral or religious point of view. Also It poses a risk to civilization as we don't know exactly the consequences of doing such a huge thing. We don't know the dangers of human cloning and what could go wrong if unsuccessful.

When you listen to your favorite music, what is the order in which the sound approaches and enters your nervous system and is in
kvasek [131]
In the ear, the sound waves enter through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum amplifies the sound and the waves move on to the middle ear, where three bones called the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) amplify the sound further and vibrate. Then, the sound waves go to the cochlea where tiny hairs and other receptors turn the sound waves into a nerve impulse. This impulse is sent to the brain via the auditory nerve and interpreted by the brain.
