A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) is born to a mother who is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X- linked ski

n condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. The mother’s skin is completely normal with no signs of the skin abnormality. In contrast, her son has patches of normal skin and patches of abnormal skin.
a. The father must have contributed the abnormal X-linked gene.
b. The mother must have contributed the abnormal X-linked gene.
c. Both parents must have contributed the abnormal X-linked gene.
d. The son’s condition must be the consequence of a spontaneous mutation.

Answer:

The correct answer is statement a.

Explanation:

The anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia is featured by unusual skin that loses the tendency to sweat and sparse body hair. It is given that the mother is phenotypically normal, that is, may or may not be a carrier for the condition. Thus, the mother possesses normal skin.  

While the father is affected with ectodermal dysplasia, that is, possesses the mutated X-chromosome. Thus, father has unusual skin. The son is affected by Klinefelter's syndrome and exhibits patches of both abnormal and normal skin.  

Therefore, the son must have inherited the normal X-chromosome from the mother as X-chromosome coming from father is mutated and results in abnormal skin. Hence, it can be concluded that the son inherits the abnormal X-chromosome from the father and the normal X-chromosome from the mother. Thus, the correct answer is option a.

Mark is studying jellyfish in a small body of water. Mollusks are a primary food source for jellyfish, and a large number of mol
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce

Explanation:

Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.

The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.

The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.

Identify the type of neuronal cell that detects bright light and provides high-resolution color vision.
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is b. cones.

Explanation:

Cones and rods are specialized cells, called photoreceptor cells, that are found in the retina and are responsible for our vision.

Cones, allow to the human eye to have a visual acuity (ability of the eye to resolve, transmit sharp images and perceive small details in an object) and provide sensitivity to the color, are more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula.

There are three different types of cones in color reception: "L cones" (sensitive to long wavelength, which is red), "M cones" (sensitive to medium wavelength, which is green) and "S cones" (sensitive to short wavelength, which is blue). Since color perception depends on the activation of these three types of nerve cells, it follows that the visible color can be determined based on three numbers called triestimulus values.

The rods are necessary for the perception of light and darkness and to adapt to night vision, because they are very sensitive to low intensity light. On the contrary, they become completely blind to bright light and, therefore, lack importance with regard to daytime vision or visual acuity.
