Biology

Mkey [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. Damage is caused by free radicals that slow down the cell-duplication process.

c. Aging may be caused by the inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly.

Explanation:

The free radical theory of aging states that aging is caused by accumulation of damage inflicted by reactive oxygen species (free radicals).  It proposes that organisms age because they accumulate oxidative damage, Now,this damage comes from reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are partially reduced metabolites of molecular oxygen (free radicals) generated as products of metabolic reactions. Thus,  these free radicals cause damage that slow down the cell-duplication process.

Also, Aging may be caused by the inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly. (SENESCENCE).

When senescence occurs (i.e inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly) there is  progressive deterioration of physiological function, an intrinsic age-related process of loss of viability and increase in vulnerability of cells.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

<h2>Alice's daughter Alix =X X*   </h2><h2>George V= XY </h2><h2>Progeny  are;</h2><h2>XX, XY, X*X, X*Y </h2><h2>50 % males would be  infected </h2><h2>50% male normal</h2><h2>50% female normal, </h2><h2>50 female carrier. </h2>

Explanation:

Hemophilia is an inherited disease and it follows  an X-linked recessive pattern. The genes for hemophilia disease are located on the X chromosome. In males one mutated copy of the chromosome X  is sufficient to cause the condition, because male contain only one gene. Female  contain XX chromosome, so both the chromosome must have mutated for causing this disease.

According to  study of  Queen Victoria (1891-1901) of England, Alice's daughter Alix was X linked carrier and George V was normal male,

so if they got married, their children would be  

parents genotype  X X*   XY

progeny  

XX, XY, X*X, X*Y

50% males would be  infected

50% male normal

50% female normal,

50 female carrier.
