Answer:

50% or 1/2. The result remains unchanged if the husband were to have G6PD.

Explanation:

For X-linked recessive inheritance, a female (XX) needs two recessive alleles to be affected while a male needs only one (XY). It is hypothetically assumed that the Y chromosome does not carry any trait.

Assuming the allele for the disease is represented by g, a woman whose father suffered from G6PD is a carrier for the disease with genotype X^GX^g. A normal man will have the genotype X^GY. When the 2 marries:

X^GX^g   x   X^GY = X^GX^G (normal female), X^GY (normal male), X^GX^g (carrier female), X^gY (affected male)It thus means that 50% or 1/2 of their sons will be expected to have G6PD.

Now, assuming the husband has G6PD, the mating becomes:

X^GX^g   x   X^gY = X^GX^g (carrier female), X^GY (normal male),  X^gX^g (affected female), X^gY (affected male)50% or 1/2 of their sons is still expected to have G6PD. The ratio remains unchanged.

In recent molecular genetic studies, genes associated with the neurotransmitter __________ have been linked to adhd
Luda [366]

In recent molecular genetic studies, genes associated with the neurotransmitter Dopamine have been linked to ADHD.

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. People with ADHD have a hard time focusing on tasks. Scientists have found that the low levels of dopamine in the brain are associated with the symptoms of ADHD. It is because the neurons in the brain have a high amount of protein called the dopamine transporters. These proteins block the dopamine from passing between the neurons. This decreases the effect of dopamine.

What is a source of variation in asexual reproduction ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
When alleles are recombined during sexual reproduction, they can produce dramatically different phenotypes. Thus, sexual reproduction is a major source of variation within many population. Asexual<span> production is when there is one parent that produces offspring that are identical to the parent. Basically a copy of the parents DNA.

Your answer in short is B
