"why are more males than females affected by x-linked recessive genetic diseases?"

1 answer:

6 0

While females have a second X-chromosome that masks the X-linked recessive allele, males do not, but instead have a Y-chromosome which does not represent the same alleles as the X-chromosomes, resulting in not being able to mask the X-linked recessive allele.

As per the given scenario, the chances of an offspring as a male or female is 50% each.

<h3>What are chromosomes?</h3>

The thread like structure resides inside the nucleus is referred to as chromosomes.

As there are 23 pair of chromosomes present in the organisms, they transfer their equal numbers in the future generation with some variations.

As per the given image, it is clearly shown that there is 50% possibility of being male or female offspring.

Thus, the chances of an offspring of this pairing being born male or female are 50%.

In your own words, give a brief overview of the process of photosynthesis. Include where each phase place within a plant cell.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis has two parts: the light-dependent reactions and the dark reactions (the Calvin cycle). Photosynthesis in a general sense, uses CO2 and water to create C6H12O6 (glucose) and oxygen. The light-dependent reactions use water to make oxygen, and a reduced energy carrier (NADPH) is also created. The Calvin cycle uses carbon dioxide and ATP to create G3P for glucose.

The light-dependent reactions occur on the membrane of the thylakoid and also involve shuttling electrons across different complexes (photosystem II and photosystem I), eventually causing ATP to be created with a proton gradient.

The light-independent reactions/Calvin cycle occur in the stroma of the chloroplast and also involve shuffling carbons around. Carbon dioxide is processed in three stages, and glucose is made from 6 CO2.
