Answer:

b. red-green color blindness and hemophilia.

Explanation:

Two types of gene determine sex of  human. The X-chromosome and the Y -chromosomes.They  are known as heterosomes, because  they are different, Unlike other somatic  chromosomes which are known as    autosomes  because of similar morphology.

<u>  If a gene  is found on  X chromosome,  but with  no corresponding match  on Y-chromosomes ; that is not   available  on Y chromosome,  the gene </u><u>said to be a sex-link-gene.</u>

<u />

<u>T</u>herefore diseases transmitted by this gene are said to be sex-linked diseases, that is it is linked to the gender or sex-  that the chromosomes, will determine.(since pairing of XY-male and XX - female).

Thus if the sex-linked gene is present on X-chromosome, of both parents, the girl child  inherits the sex-linked diseases.<u> One defective X-chromosomes from each parent.</u>

<u />

<u> </u>However, if the gene is present on the inherited   X-chromosomes of the mother, and the Y chromosomes of the father, the male child is Sex-linked.

In a carrier mother with one X-chromosomes of sex-linked disease and the other of free  of sex-link, if the girl child inherits this sex-linked gene from the mother, and normal X- chromosomes from the father, the girl child who now has one sex-linked gene, and other normal X-chromosomes of the father is said to be a carrier. Thus such a girl child is not affected, but can pass the defective gene in subsequent generation provided she gets married to  a man with sex -linked gene.

Men are not carriers of sex-linked  diseases because, men only have 1 X-chromosomes, the  Y-chromosomes  is very weak, smaller than the X, and therefore can not bear the  sex-linked genes. This explains the reasons why most sex-linked characters of females are usually inherited from fathers.

__________ is the conversion of acetyl coa into ketone bodies.
Ulleksa [173]
Ketogenesis is the conversion of acetyl CoA into Ketone bodies. CoA stands for fatty acid fragments, not whole fat. The fat moelcule is first broken into fatty acids and then the ketogenesis process takes place. The conversion of acetyl CoA into ketone bodies happens whenever acetylCoA cannot be oxidized.
