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?

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%.

Compare passive and active transport through the cell membrane, including energy use and concentration gradients.
sweet [91]
Passive transport vs active transport sounds like what it is. In passive transport, there is no energy needed to get the molecules across the cell membrane, whereas in active transport, energy is expended getting the molecules across the membrane. Basically in active transport the ATP in your cells gives one of it’s phosphates to the transport proteins in your cell membrane and it lets select molecules in. These molecules are moving through a concentration gradient during active transport(with the help of ATP), from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.

Members of which phylum establish a successful symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is Glomeromycota

Explanation:

Arbuscular mycorrhizae are characterized by the formation of unique structures, arbuscles, coils and vesicles of fungi of the phylum Glomeromycota. They are a type of endomicorrhiza in which the fungus penetrates the cortical cells of the roots of a vascular plant.

In this symbiotic association, the fungus helps the plant to capture nutrients such as phosphorus, sulfur, nitrogen and soil micronutrients. It is believed that the development of symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizae played a crucial role in the initial colonization of the earth by plants and in the evolution of vascular plants.

This symbiosis is a highly evolved mutualistic relationship found between fungi and plants.
