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

Biology
1 answer:
frozen [14]3 years ago
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.

How would a change to the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA segment affect the mRNA transcribed from the DNA?​
Mama L [17]

Answer:

It would change the nucleotide sequence of the transcribed mRNA

Explanation:

During the process of transcription, a DNA template is used to synthesize a mRNA molecule. The nucleotides in the DNA molecule undergo a complementary base pairing to form the nucleotides on the mRNA. This means that the order of sequence on the DNA determines the order of sequence on the mRNA.

In a case where the nucleotide sequence of a DNA segment changes in the process of MUTATION, the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA strand will also change. For example, if sequence: ATT on the DNA produces UAA on the mRNA, a change to AAT on the DNA will cause the mRNA sequence to change to UUA.

1.) How do hurricanes form?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

1.  there needs to be warm ocean water and moist, humid air in the region. When humid air is flowing upward at a zone of low pressure over warm ocean water, the water is released from the air as creating the clouds of the storm. As it rises, the air in a hurricane rotates.

2. Hurricanes are classified using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale — a 1 to 5 rating that's based on maximum sustained wind speed, according to the National Hurricane Center.

3. When a hurricane strikes a coastal area, it brings a number of serious hazards. These hazards include heavy rains, high winds, a storm surge, and even tornadoes. Storm surge pushes seawater on shore during a hurricane, flooding towns near the coast. Heavy rains cause flooding in inland places as well.
