Red-green color blindness is due to a mutant gene in the X chromosome. An XX female with normal color vision and an XY male with normal color vision have a child with karyotype XXY who is color blind. The likely explanation is that the:_--------.

father was heterozygous for the color-blindness mutation.

mother was heterozygous for the color-blind mutation.

father had CNV of the color-blind mutation.

mother had CNV of the color-blind mutation.

None of the other answer options is correct.

Answer:

mother was heterozygous for the color-blind mutation.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is a recessive disorder. This means that it is expressed only in homozygous genotypes. The responsible gene is present on the X chromosomes. A colorblind female would have the genotype X^cX^c where c is the recessive allele of the gene present on the X chromosome responsible for color blindness. A female with genotype X^cX would have normal visible but would serve as a carrier.

Both the female and the male have normal genotype. Since they had a colorblind child, it means that the female was a heterozygous carrier for the trait and imparted the responsible allele to the child. The male can not serve as a carrier for X linked recessive disorder since they have only one copy of the X chromosome. Therefore, the female was a heterozygous carrier.

In a DNA strand, this nucleotide will "pair up" with:
kirill [66]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Every DNA nucleotide pair will consist of one pyrimidine and one purine. Due to the chemical structures of the different bases, adenine (A) will always bind with thymine (T) and guanine (G) will bind with cytosine (C). The same is true for RNA except that A always pairs with a close relative of thymine, uracil (U).
