What is a germ cell mutation?

A germline mutation, or germinal mutation, is any detectable variation within germ cells (cells that, when fully developed, become sperm and ovum). Mutations in these cells are the only mutations that can be passed on to offspring, when either a mutated sperm or oocyte come together to form a zygote.

What is affected in a germ cell mutation?

Somatic mutations differ from germ line mutations, which are inherited genetic alterations that occur in the germ cells (i.e., sperm and eggs). Somatic mutations are frequently caused by environmental factors, such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation or to certain chemicals.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive gene 43) in humans. A woman whose fath
LiRa [457]

Answer:

50% or 1/2. The result remains unchanged if the husband were to have G6PD.

Explanation:

For X-linked recessive inheritance, a female (XX) needs two recessive alleles to be affected while a male needs only one (XY). It is hypothetically assumed that the Y chromosome does not carry any trait.

Assuming the allele for the disease is represented by g, a woman whose father suffered from G6PD is a carrier for the disease with genotype X^GX^g. A normal man will have the genotype X^GY. When the 2 marries:

X^GX^g   x   X^GY = X^GX^G (normal female), X^GY (normal male), X^GX^g (carrier female), X^gY (affected male)It thus means that 50% or 1/2 of their sons will be expected to have G6PD.

Now, assuming the husband has G6PD, the mating becomes:

X^GX^g   x   X^gY = X^GX^g (carrier female), X^GY (normal male),  X^gX^g (affected female), X^gY (affected male)50% or 1/2 of their sons is still expected to have G6PD. The ratio remains unchanged.

How does the nurse apply the identity versus role confusion stage in the care delivery of an adolescent ? select all that apply?
Mrrafil [7]
Childbirth is scary enough for adult women, let alone an uneducated adolescent (depending on age). all women in labor need a coach, spouse or parent to comfort them through the delivery process to let the future mother know these stages are normal.

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The data from the experiment support the claim that the similar regulation of carbohydrate metabolism  by hepatocytes occurs when the cells are treated with growth hormone or insulin results from the activation of different signaling pathways

Explanation:

If we take a look on the graph, it shows increase in the phosphorylated protein when the growth hormone or insulin is applied to the cells with the passage of time. At  15 minutes , it reaches to its highest level but after 15 minutes of addition of growth hormone and insulin, the level of phosphorylated protein decrease when the time exceeds from 15 minutes to 240 minutes. So it is concluded that growth hormones or insulin increase the level of phosphorylated protein.
