Answer:

A scientist discovers a DNA-based test for one allele of a particular gene. This and only this allele, if homozygous, produces an effect that results in death at or about the time of birth. Which of the following statements describes the best use of this discovery?

Screen all newborns of an at-risk population.

Explanation:

When all newborns are screened, it enable the researcher to identify areas with lapses   in order to correct such either by introducing an heterozygous to correct the abnormality

Which stage of the cell cycle involves the division of the cytoplasm?
klio [65]

Mitosis takes place in four stages: prophase (sometimes divided into early prophase and prometaphase), metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. You can learn more about these stages in the video on mitosis. In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is split in two, making two new cells.

For most genes on the human x chromosome, what percent of xy males with a mutant allele on the x chromosome will express the mut
LuckyWell [14K]

For most genes on the human X chromosome, 100% of XY males with mutant allele on the X chromosome will express the mutant phenotype.

50 % of human sperm cells that carry an X chromosome. There is 50 % chances that daughter of any male will not carry the gene and can't pass it on and 50 % chance that sons do not have the gene and it will be healthy. 50% chance that son have inherited the gene and express the trait or disorder.

If a Egg is fertilizes by sperm with X chromosome then zygote will be a female ' XX'. If the Egg is fertilizes by sperm with Y chromosome , then zygote will be male 'XY'.
