G6PD deficiency in humans is an X-linked recessive trait. If a homozygous dominant female (XGXG) has children with an affected m

ale (XgY), then what is the probability of the children being carriers?

Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Only the daughters will be carriers and the probability is 1 or 100%

Explanation:

Homozygous dominant female = X^{G} X^{G}

Affected male = X^{G}Y

X^{G} X^{G}   x   X^{G}Y

Offspring = X^{G}X^{g} (female), X^{G}X^{g} (females), X^{G}Y (male), X^{G}Y (male)

<em>For X-linked traits, male gender can either be affected or not affected, they cannot be carriers because the Y chromosome is hypothesized to not carry any gene. Since the two X chromosomes in female carry genes, they can be carriers for X-linked traits.</em>

Considering the female children only, the probability is 1 or 100%.

2. Can the classification system change? If so, provide an example of a way it has changed in the past. (2 points)
Elis [28]

Yes, classification system is still evolving together with our knowledge.

But, before changing the name (e.g. of a species) it is important to collect and gather a wealth of information in order to support that change. Classification system is still evolving. The reasons for the changes are DNA analyzes. It is the new way for discovering relation between organisms and put them in the right context (classification used to be based on morphological characteristics).

Change in classification can be shown in an example of fungi. In the 90s fungi classification included only phyla Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. Now theyhave been classified mainly on the basis of characteristics of their sexual reproductive structures. So, there are 7 phyla now: Microsporidia, Chytridiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Glomeromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota

Upon examining samples of water and mud from a nearby river, you come across an unidentified organism. The organism is unicellul
Tasya [4]

Answer:

A protist

Explanation:

In the given question, the characteristic of an unidentified organism are given which are:

1. The organism is unicellular and autotrophic which means that it is a producer and belongs to a plant like organism.

2. The membrane bound nucleus means that the organism is an eukaryote.

The organism is thus an unicellular, autotrophic and an eukaryote could be a species of algae which is considered a protist. The protists are the organisms which shows characteristic of the ukaryotes but are not considered true plants and animals.

Thus, a protist is correct answer.

1. What is cultural control? What are the practices done in this approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cultural
timama [110]

1.a.In agriculture cultural control is the practice of modifying the growing environment to reduce the prevalence of unwanted pests. Examples include changing soil pH or fertility levels, irrigation practices, amount of sunlight, temperature, or the use of beneficial animals or insects.

1.b. Cultural control is using the production or utilization methods of a commodity with a concern for insect management. Cultural control practices are usually multipurpose technical procedures that create environments that either avoid high-risk situations for infestations or develop unfavorable conditions for pests.

1.c.Simplicity and low cost are the primary advantages of cultural control tactics, and disadvantages are few as long as these tactics are compatible with a farmer's other management objectives (high yields, mechanization, etc.).
