Write a one page note on sex linked inheritance with 2 examples briefly explained.

Biology

stepan [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Sex linked inheritance may be defined as the type of inheritance in which the trait or mutation is present on X chromosomes rather than on autosomes. Sex linked trait expression will depend upon the type of sex.

Two type of inheritance of sex linked trait are X linked dominant and X linked recessive trait. In X linked recessive trait, the male are more affected as they have only single X chromosome. Females should have both X chromosome affected for the expression of the trait. In sex linked dominant trait, a single X chromosome is enough for the expression of trait.

For example: Color blindness is an sex linked recessive trait, the mother generally passes the trait to their sons. Fragile X syndrome is a sex linked dominant trait in which the affected father will have all the affected daughter.

Suppose that in another world, DNA does not undergo semiconservative replication, but instead a conservative mechanism is used.
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

c. ¼ heavy, ¾ light

Explanation:

DNA replication follows semi conservative model which means that both the strands separate during replication and the newly formed DNA molecule has one old and one new strand. If instead of semi conservative, conservative mechanism is used, old strands will not separate from each other and the two newly synthesised DNA strands will come together to form a DNA molecule.

Here the cells were first grown in heavy 15N medium so all the DNA molecules had 15N and thus were heavy. Then the cells were transferred to 14N medium where only lighter 14N were available for replication process.

In first generation, 14N DNA molecules were synthesised from 15N DNA molecules so 1/2 DNA molecules were 15N and other half were 14N. In the second generation, 14N molecules will give rise to new 14N molecules and 15N molecules will also give rise to 14N molecules hence 1/4 molecules will be 15N (heavy) and 3/4 will be 14N (light).
