"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.

The diagram shows the process of meiosis. How many divisions are required to decrease chromosome numbers and produce gametes?
Tresset [83]

The right answer is 2 divisions.

Meiosis follows the replication of DNA from a reproductive cell (male or female). It allows the passage of a so-called diploid mother cell to 2n chromosome homologous chromosomes to 4 single-chromosome haploid daughter cells. For that it must pass by two successive divisions, the first division is reductionelle generating two diploid cells with n chromosomes. the second division is equational giving 4 haploid cells to n chromosomes from the two preceding cells.
