Answer:

They are caused by mutation of the X chromosome.

Explanation:

In an XY-chromosomal system of sex determination, Both X and Y- chromosomes are Sex chromosome.
Genes on sex chromosome are called sex linked genes.
Sex linked genes are referred to as X-linked while Y-linked genes are the ones located only on the Y-chromosome.
The genes located in on Y chromosome are holandric.

Human females are homozygous for X chromosome while Human males are hemizygous i.e. they have only one X-chromosome and another Y chromosome.
Disorders caused due to the mutation in the X chromosome are called X- linked disorders. Some examples are Hemophilia, Fragile X-syndrome etc.
Sex lionked disorders can be X-linked Dominant disorder or X- linked Recessive disorder.
The Dominant disorders are present in every generation, and affected males come from affected mothers. Daughters of affected fathers are always affected but sons of such father are not affected.
The recessive disorders are more common in Males and these males come from affected mothers or carrier mothers. The affected females come from affected father and an affected or carrier mother.

andre [41]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) along with sympathetic nervous system (SNS) makes autonomic nervous system (ANS). ANS controls the functioning of internal processes like digestion rate, heart rate, respiratory rate etc. During a threat or stressful situation SNS is activated. It increases heart rate, respiratory rate and directs blood flow towards peripheral muscles as a part of "fight or flight response". When the situation becomes normal, PNS is activated which restores all the vitals as a part of "rest and digest" mechanism.

Since here Byron almost got into an accident, he was scared a lot due to which his SNS was activated. Eventually when he realized that he is out of danger, his PNS got activated which returned his heart rate and blood pressure to normal levels.

Which of the following lists accurately represents the increasing complexity of genetic materials?

N76 [4]

The correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.

Explanation

Nitrogen bases are chemical compounds that compose DNA and RNA, in the case of DNA the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, while RNA is made up of uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Additionally, DNA makes up genes, which are structures that store information that is passed on to offspring. Also, genes are organized to form chromosomes (more complex structures) of genetic information. Finally, there are cells, in them are chromosomes, fundamental for the reproduction of an organism. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.

What are the 3 characteristics SIM Media looks for?

weeeeeb [17]

2- Indol is the second characteristic. If bacteria is indol positive than it changes color from yellow to pink when the reagent is added.

3- Motility: if bacteria are motile than it's motility is easily visible in the media.
