Women with Turner syndrome (XO) and normal women (XX) are clearly different phenotypically. In addition, the vast majority of XO

conceptions abort before birth. However, both XO and XX women have one active X chromosome since the X in XO women remains active and one might expect that they would therefore have similar phenotypes.
What is the most reasonable explanation for their different phenotypes?
a.) XO women do not have a copy of the SRY gene.
b.) XO women have problems during development because mitosis is abnormal.
c.) In XO women, the single X chromosome has no partner to pair with during mitosis so that each cell division is delayed by pairing problems with the single X not finding a pairing partner.
d.) XO women are missing a copy of the Xist gene so that they are forced to develop partway along the male pathway during embryogenesis.
e.) Some genes remain active on the inactive X chromosome and XX women will have two copies of these genes expressed and XO women only one copy.

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Turner syndrome females have a phenotype because there are regions of the X chromosome that normally escape inactivation, allowing 2 copies of the gene to be expressed. These regions are called pseudoautosomal regions.

These are inherited in a typically autosomal fashion, permitting crossing over between the X and Y.  In Turner syndrome, the lack of second X chromosome means these genes are missing and the phenotypes result from haploinsufficiency

What is the term used to describe why roots grow in the direction of earth's gravity pull
Grace [21]

The specific term to characterized the downward growth of roots in response to earth’s gravity pull is called positive geotropism. The word geotropism was derived from two words, “geo” which means ground and “tropism” which describes a plant movement elicited by a gravitational stimulus.

In addition, the root cap makes the roots turn downward as they grow for they have specialized cells with sensors called statoliths that settle to the lowermost part of the root cap in response to the pull of gravity and help the cell multiply more rapidly in a downward direction.

Scientists often turn to tropical forests when searching for new species. Why do you think this is?
AveGali [126]

I think that they look towards the rain forests because there is always new or similar species with in the forests. They might need to see if they can find more to the species and see if they are going extinct. They would do anything to help the plants and animals survive and populate.

Which of the following is NOT a component of a nucleotide?
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Option D.

Explanation:

The above answer given is incorrect. Nucleotides consist of a phosphate group attached to a pentose sugar, with 5 carbons,  (deoxyribose sugar in the case of DNA) and the pentose sugar is also attached to a nitrogenous base. DNA is incorrect as nucleotides are the building block of DNA hence DNA is NOT a component of nucleotides.
