Hemophilia B, a blood clotting disorder, is an X-linked recessive trait. What is the expected percentage of offspring with hemop

hilia that would be produced by a father who does not have hemophilia and a mother who is heterozygous for this trait

Answer:

The correct answer is 25%.

Explanation:

Considering that Hemophilia B is an X-linked recessive disease, than for it to be observed in female offspring, the mother must be homozygous recessive because females have XX chromosomes and if the father transfers only the dominant gene then the female offspring will always be heterozygous dominant.

In the case of a father who carries the dominant gene on his X choromosome and a mother who is heterozygous for the disease meaning she has both the dominant and the recessive gene, if we calculate the percentages for this situation, we see that for the first generation, one female offspring is heterozygous dominant, one female offspring if homozygous, one male offspring carries the dominant gene on his X chromosome and the other male offspring carries the recessive gene on his X choromosome which is the one that carries the disease.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

Horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer is when an organisms of different species can acquire a gene from a different one. This process is well understood in bacteria and is responsible for the appearence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria can take DNA fragments through a process known as transformation, but this is less common in eukaryotes. Gene transfer agents like viruses could carry the gene from one specimen to the other. Another way could be Horizontal transposon transfer but the exact mechanisms behind it are still under research.

Which act prompted the developers to install stormwater management systems to handle the movement of polluted water?
Gre4nikov [31]
Natural landscapes such as forests, the soil absorbs much of the stormwater and plants help hold stormwater close to where it falls. In developed environments, unmanaged stormwater can create two major issues: one related to the volume and timing of runoff water (flooding) and the other related to potential contaminants that the water is carrying (water pollution).
