To know what happens here, you need to analyze the alleles.

If the father is color blind and the daughter is not, you can suppose that is a recessive allele.

You can tell she is a carrier only, and because we received one sexual allele from each parent. If they ask you about the gender, we can suppose a cross between Xx and XY being lower x the recessive allele (color-blind vision).

When you draw the Punnett square, you'll found the probabilities are XX, XY, Xx, and xY.

So, you have a 50% chance of having a boy and 25% chance of having a color-blind boy.

Which of the following best describes a nuclear fusion reaction?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

A reaction that joins the nuclei of two atoms into one  

Explanation:

Think of the words "nuclear fusion".

Nuclear = "relating to a nucleus"

Fusion = "joining"

So, nuclear fusion is the joining of two nuclei into one.

A and B are wrong, because chemical reactions involve electrons.

D is wrong, because the splitting of a nucleus is fission.

Without adding specific regulatory proteins, how might you stimulate transcription from the gene of interest relative to the tra
german

Answer:

By transfecting small activating RNAs

Explanation:

Small activating RNAs (saRNAs) are an emerging class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are capable of activating gene expression at transcriptional level. The saRNAs are small double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that bind to promoter sequences in order to activate the expression of target genes. These molecules are structurally similar to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), i.e., they also have a size of 21 nucleotides and two overhang nucleotides at the 3' end of both strands.

Ratling [72]
It's called hypoxemia, it's low levels of oxygen in the blood, to be more specific, it's oxygen loss in your blood from your arteries. It can cause respiratory disorders, and tissue hypoxia, as a result of the blood not providing much oxygen to your body.

I hope I helped :)
