Half of the boys are color-blind and half of the girls are color-blind.
JulsSmile [24]4 years ago

I agree that half the boys would be colorblind but half the girls would only be carriers. Since girls sex genes are XX, and the father only has one X to "give" and that X doesn't code for the gene, only half could possibly be a carrier (getting a carrier X from the mother and a regular X from the father) while the other half would be normal.

Gas giants have rings and satellites. True or False
Soloha48 [4]
That statement is True
Gas giants refer to the large planets the made up from large composition of gas.
These planets are located significantly further from the sun compared to another planet, which makes them have more debris left over from their formation, which will turn either into rings or moons (satellites) that surround these planets.

Explain at least 2 ways cancer would affect different levels of organization
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

Cancer cells do not contain the capacity to undergo

  • a regular cell cycle where they only undergo cell division in response to external signals within their environment, i.e. regulation.
  • differentiation into specialized cell types, with different physical  traits; together they can't form different tissues.

Multiple mutations in several protooncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are required to form cancer. Cancer-causing genes, or oncogenes, develop from protooncogenes which regulate normal cell division. They may undergo mutations that alter gene expression, disrupt cell regulation and lead to the transformation of normal cells into tumor cells- their resulting proteins are abnormal or not formed. Tumor suppressor genes, which can halt unregulated cell growth and division, may also become mutated.

Each individual inherits 2 copies of a gene from their parents- a single mutation in one of these does not directly lead to cancer. Multiple activated oncogenes, in turn produce damaged, non functional proteins and together contribute to forming cancers.

Further Explanation:

During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:

  • somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
  • hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.

Sequences of DNA make up genes which can have different forms called alleles. DNA, which makes up the genotype, is transcribed into mRNA and later translated into amino acids which are linked together by rRNA to form proteins which make up the phenotype of an organism. Mutations in DNA sequences affect the corresponding mRNA and thus the protein encoded.

Anisogamy (different-size gametes) is a phenomenon found in many sexually reproducing species. Which of the following assumption
Oxana [17]

Answer:

D. all options are correct

Explanation:

  • There is a trade-off between the size of gametes and the number of gametes.
  • The larger the gamete, the less mobile it is
  • The probability that a zygote survives increases with its size, and the size of the zygote is a function of the sizes of the fusing gametes

Answer:

The pacemaking signal generated in the sinoatrial node travels through the right atrium to the atrioventricular node, along the Bundle of His and through bundle branches to cause contraction of the heart muscle.
