The enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as a recessive gene on the X chromosome in humans. A

phenotypically normal woman (whose father had G6PD) is married to a normal man. (a) What fraction of their sons would be expected to have G6PD? (b) If the husband had G6PD, would it make a difference in your answer in part (a)? Why or why nor?

Answer:

1/2 , no difference to the fraction of the sons

Explanation:

Since the disorder is inherited recessive gene on the X. The woman will be a carrier since her father had G6PD. Therefore her genotype is X Xh

The normal man genotype will be XY

The genotype of their offspring will be

  • Daughters XX, XXh
  • Sons   XY, XhY

Therefore 1 out of the 2 sons(1/2) will have the disorder

If the father had the disorder, it will not change the fraction of the sons  because the disorder is on the X chromosome. However one of the daughters will have it XhXh

Answer:

a)1/2

b. No

Explanation:

A).Assuming the allele for the G6PD deficiency is represented with (g). Therefore this will be carried on one of the XX- chromosomes of the mother.Since her father has the defective allele on his X-chromosomes of XY-chromosomes , she must have obtained the defective allele from this  X allele  inherited from her father. Definitely she is a carrier.( the genetic status for this disease was not stated for her mother).

Therefore during mating based on  Monohybrid cross,

two Sons will be produced. <u>One will have  this defective allele(</u> XY(g)) while <u>the other will be norma</u>l.(XY,normal)

this will be fraction of 1/2.

the same proportion of inheritance should be observed in the  the daughters since the  mother of the wife is assumed to be normal.

B. No. it will not make any differences because it is only  the Y-chromosomes that determines male sex .Fathers do not give X -chromosomes to male children, and since it is the X-chromosomeswhich is normal in the father that bears this  defective gene,it will make no difference.

Conocimiento sobre las ciencias naturales
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Las ciencias naturales, ciencias de la naturaleza, ciencias físico-naturales o ciencias experimentales son aquellas ciencias que tienen por objeto el estudio de la naturaleza, siguiendo la modalidad del método científico conocida como método empírico-analítico. Son a veces referidas con el término de historia natural. Estudian los aspectos físicos e intentando no incluir aspectos relativos a las acciones humanas. Así, como grupo, las ciencias naturales se distinguen de las ciencias sociales o ciencias humanas (cuya identificación o diferenciación de las humanidades y artes y de otro tipo de saberes es un problema epistemológico diferente).

Answer:

Option (2) and (3).

Explanation:

Cancer is the uncontrolled division of the cell that might results in the loss of apoptosis in the cells. The cancer cell shows the property like angiogenesis and loss of contact inhibition.

Both the hereditary factors like mutations in some gene and environmental factors like any mutagen may inhibit the process of the cell division. Both these factors mainly inhibits the gene that are responsible for the regulation of the cell cycle like p53, Rb.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2) and (3).
