Answer:
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.
It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.
Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :
Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.
Parents: XHXh X XhY
Offspring: XHXh : XHY: XhXh: XhY
Phenotype of offspring:
XHXh: The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)
XHY: The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)
XhXh: The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)
XhY: The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)
Hope it helps!
Answer:
Constructive refers to forming a new thing while destructive refers to broken down a substance.
Explanation:
Constructive food process is a type of process in which a new food is formed from the combination of different types of raw materials such as formation of sugar and cornflakes etc., while destructive food process is a type of process in which foods are broken down into other simpler substances such as carbohydrates or starch broken down into glucose or disaccharide etc.
C
Crossing over during meiosis allows for genes to cross from one chromosome to another. This will result in more mutations and therefore greater genetic diversity.
<u>Answer:</u>
Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?
A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>
Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?
A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>
Q: What treatments are available?
A: Medication, healthy food.
<u>Explanation:</u>
<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.
A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.
A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
The most common cause is the accuracy of the measure instruments. And the observation of operator is also an important factor. That's why one measurement should do three times and use the average.
