the couple is also concerned about their child inheriting hemophilia, another rare disease, which is x-linked. natalie’s brother
IgorC [24]

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked condition and is inherited from parents. . The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is<u> 1/4</u>, not 1/8. The statement is<u> false.</u>

<h3>What is an X-linked gene?</h3>

When talking about sex-linked genes, we refer to all those genes located in one of the sex-chromosomes and not in the somatic ones.

X-linked genes are the genes located specifically in the X sex chromosome.

Traits coded by these genes are inherited. This is, X-linked genes are transmitted from parents to children through generations.

According to this, X-linked genetic disorders will be inherited as well.

  • Men have a high probability of being affected since they only have one copy of the X chromosome.
  • In women, the effect of the mutation might be musk in heterozygous state if the mutation is recessive.

Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, which means it is coded by the recessive allele.

  • X+ ⇒ X chrosomosome with Dominant allele
  • X- ⇒ X chrosomosome with Recessive allele

<u>Genotype              Phenotype</u>

X+X+                   Healthy woman

X+X-                    Healthy carrier woman

X-X-                     Hemophilic woman

X+Y                      Healthy man

X-Y                       Hemophilic man

Let us make a pedigree of these families,

<u>Natalie's family</u>:

Mother         healthy carrier          X+X-

Father          healthy                      X+Y

Brother        hemophilic                X-Y  

Natalie         Healthy                     X+X- or X+X+  

Natalie has 1/2 chances of being carrier X+X- and 1/2 of being X+X+.

<u>Daniel's family</u>:

Mother         healthy carrier          X+X-

Father          hemophilic                X-Y  

Sister           hemophilic                X-X-

Daniel          Healthy                      X+Y

He has 1/2 chances of being healthy X+Y and 1/2 of being affected X-Y.

According to the product probability rule, if events A and B are independent from each other, the probability of occurrence of both events together is

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B)

In this case,

  • event A is Daniel being affected ⇒ 1/2
  • event B is Natalie being carrier ⇒ 1/2

P(A∩B) = P(A) x P(B) = 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4

The probability that Natalie and Daniel’s first child has hemophilia is 1/4, not 1/8. The statement is<u> false.</u>

What is considered the ultimate wonder of cells
Lapatulllka [165]
According to G.D Budhiraja in his book "The Natural Way of Healthy Aging," the ultimate wonder of cells is the egg cell. 

The egg cells is considered to be the ultimate wonder of cells because of its potential to form another human being. Once fertilized, the egg cell multiplies and grows, and "seems to know" just the right timing for certain processes to occur within the embryo or fetus. It seems to know when certain hormones should be produced, when it should implant in the uterus, and when the hands, legs, feet, hair, and other parts of the embryo and fetus should grow.

How is movement of energy through aerobic cellular respiration
Alex_Xolod [135]

Cellular respiration is the process that cells use to break down food to use as an energy. Aerobic cellular respiration uses oxygen and yields many more ATP molecules than anaerobic cellular respiration, which does not use oxygen and yields only two ATP molecules.
