How is the effective dosage of X-linked gene products balanced in placental mammals between females that carry two X chromosomes

and males that carry only a single X chromosome?
> Genes on the single male X chromosome are expressed at twice the rate of genes on the two female X chromosomes.
> Only half of the genes on each X chromosome are expressed in female somatic cells.
>The paternally derived X chromosome is inactivated in all female somatic cells, so only the maternally derived X chromosome is expressed.
>One X chromosome is randomly inactivated in female somatic cells.

Answer:

One X chromosome is randomly inactivated in female somatic cells.

Explanation:

Females in placental mammals such as humans have two copies of the X chromosome while the males have only a single X chromosome in their cells.

However, the cells of males and females of these organisms have the same effective dosage of X linked genes since one of the X chromosomes in somatic cells of these females is inactivated during early embryonic stages.

The inactivated X chromosome is present in the form of a compact object, called the Barr body in the cells of the females. Methylation of DNA is considered to be the possible mechanism responsible for the inactivation of the X chromosome.

What is the problem with 3D printing blood vessels/blood cells?
Sophie [7]

Answer:

3D-printed blood vessels incorporating living cells may help take vascular disease out of circulation for good.

Blood clots and fatty plaque residues on vessel walls can hinder or block blood flow and increase pressure in the vascular system. That deprives tissues and organs throughout the body of oxygen and nutrients their cells need to survive. Over time, a patient’s risk increases for cardiac emergencies like heart attack and stroke, as well as for chronic debilitating complications like leg pain, organ failure, tissue death, and gangrene.

What is the relationship between water temperature and the brine shrimp and brine flies in the Mono Lake ecosystem?
UNO [17]

Answer:

brine flies prefer warm temperatures to breed in, more brine flies means more food for the brine shrimp, so brine shrimp will be able to breed more as there's more food. and vice versa- in colder temperatures there would be less breeding of the flies, meaning less food for shrimps. therefore less breeding of shrimps)
