There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it.
There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one.
If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier).
If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease.
The answer is D)
To solve this, you would need to identify the number of amino acids (20) you are dealing with and the number of positions (8) that are available in your polypeptide. so that would come out to 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 x 20 = 20^8
If scientists believe that the newly discovered gene has two alleles A and a and that the alleles show incomplete dominance, the best way to prove this is to look for subjects who are homozygous with respect to the different alleles. The offsprings will all have the genotype of Aa and if indeed, the alleles show incomplete the dominance, the traits of the first generation will not manifest completely but a mixture of two will.
Answer:
Carbonization is the term for the conversion of an organic substance into carbon or a carbon-containing residue through pyrolysis or destructive distillation. It is often used in organic chemistry with reference to the generation of coal gas and coal tar from raw coal.
