Search the NIH gene database for the term colorblindness. Use the results of the database search to explain how a father and mot

her who are not colorblind could have a son who is colorblind. Your model can be a pedigree chart, a Punnett square, or a diagram of chromosomes.

Answer/Explanation:

Red/green colorblindness is a recessive, X-linked condition. That means that the affected gene is on the X chromosome, and that the phenotype will only be present if there is no "healthy" gene, which is dominant to the mutated gene.

For two unaffected people to have an affected son, the mother must be a carrier. Remember, females have two X chromosomes and males have one. So if a female is a carrier of the colorblindness mutation, she will have one copy of the mutation and one normal copy of the gene, and will therefore be unaffected.

The punnet square (attached) shows that all their female children would be unaffected (have the B gene), but 1:2 male children would be colorblind, as their only copy of the gene is mutated (b).

Why do bacteria have to grow before reproduction?
Readme [11.4K]
Most bacteria rely on binary fission for propagation. Conceptually this is a simple process; a cell just needs to grow to twice its starting size and then split in two. But, to remain viable and competitive, a bacterium must divide at the right time, in the right place, and must provide each offspring with a complete copy of its essential genetic material. Bacterial cell division is studied in many research laboratories throughout the world. These investigations are uncovering the genetic mechanisms that regulate and drive bacterial cell division. Understanding the mechanics of this process is of great interest because it may allow for the design of new chemicals or novel antibiotics that specifically target and interfere with cell division in bacteria.

ASHA 777 [7]
The nurse should say that the compressive dressing over the residual limb or the stump this prevents the swelling of the stump. Compression of the limb is an effective way to reduce edema (or the accumulation of fluid in the interstitium) since this promotes lymphatic drainage of the fluid from the interstitium.
