As female has XX chromosome so they can be carrier if one chromosome is recessive to the disease and have muscular distrpphy if female has homozygous condition for the disease !!

But in male ; which has only one X chromosome i.e XY , it can not be a carrier !! Male even if has the recessive gene but due to having only one X gene will get muscular distrophy.

I hope now you understand; if got any problem ; comment !!

How do cells differentiate from each other? What sends a cell the message to become one kind of cell rather than another type?
tester [92]
Cell differentiation is a process by which stem cells give rise to different type of cells with different functions and located in different locations. it is is true that all cells in a particular organism have same composition of genetic material. however they perform different function because of the process of cell differentiation. cell differentiation results from expression of some genes inside the cell the dictate what type of cells should be synthesized.after gene expression proteins produced send the message to stem cells to indicate the type of cells to be manufactured.

Astronomers use __________ to remotely identify the ________ of an object by the unique pattern of lines in its spectrum.
Aliun [14]

Answer:Spectroscopy helps astronomers to determine the composition, temperature, density, and motion of an object.

Infrared spectroscopy helps to identify the atoms and molecules in the object.

The red shift or blue shift (Doppler Effect) in a spectral line tells how fast the object is receding from Earth or coming toward it.

The Doppler shift enables astronomers to discover extrasolar planets.

As a planet orbits its star, the star is alternately moving away from or toward us.

Astronomers can use the Doppler shifts to calculate the speed of the star and the mass of the planet that is tugging on it.

Gene expression might be altered at the level of post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes because o
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

<h2>As transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location,  post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes. </h2>

Explanation:

The transcription and translation occurs in different location in eukaryotes, while in prokaryotes, both the processes occurs at same location and can be co-translation.

As, in eukaryotes, the transcription occurs in the nucleus and then this transcript have to move in the cytoplasm to translation, so before reaching in the cytoplasm, various modifications occur in this transcript known as post transcriptional modification or processing ( include 5' capping, 3' poly-adenylation and RNA splicing).

As, in prokaryotes, both transcription and translation occur at same place so there is no time for modification for transcript because translation starts as the transcription is still going on.

Svet_ta [14]
This can affect the organisms living there because now, their environment is probably different than what they have been living in for a long time, so now they have to adapt to this new environment, and if they don't, the organisms will probably end up dying.
