Answer:
According to Punnett Square, what can be concluded from Huntington's disease is that the disease is autosomal dominant.
Explanation:
Huntington's disease is characterized as a neurodegenerative condition, which affects body movements and progressively decreases some higher brain functions.
Inheritance plays a determining role in Huntinton's disease, being a disease transmitted from parents to children with an autosomal dominant pattern, that is, all <u>individuals with the defective gene (H) will have the disease</u>, while the <u>absence of the gene (rr) also guarantees the absence of this condition</u>.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Inheritance of Huntington's disease is not sex-linked.
</em>
- <em>The allele that determines the Hungtinton's disease is not recessive.</em>
The answer is D (probability)
Answer:
is the process of breeding only organisms with desirable traits
Explanation:
That is false, the right side receives DEoxygenated blood.
There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it.
There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one.
If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier).
If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease.
The answer is D)
