Answer: Women are carriers for the disease hemophilia because hemophilia is an X-linked disease. The recessive allele for the disease is found on the X chromosome.

The sons of carrier women get hemophilia because males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The sons of a carrier woman may inherit the affected X chromosome from their mother, and a Y chromosome from their father. They have only one X chromosome and one it's affected, will result in hemophilia.

Explanation: Women are carriers because in most cases, only one of their two X chromosomes are affected. The two female X chromosome is rarely affected.

Daughters of carrier women will not get the disease because they need two affected X chromosomes to manifest the disease. So even if they inherit one affected X chromosome from their mother, the second X chromosome they will inherit from their father will be normal. Therefore, daughters of carrier women can only be carriers.

Fantom [35]

Answer:2 creeper, I normal

Explanation: According to mendelian law when 2 creeper are crossed we should have 3 creeper and 1 normal but because homozgous allele is lethal(lethal means allele that are deleterious and it causes the death of the individual carrying it) it leads it death and we have 2 creeper and 2 normal. The creeper are heterozyous having two different allele.

For everywhere that homozygous individual that are dominant for creeper occur it will always leads to there death because the allele are lethal

Digiron [165]

Answer:

catabolismo.

Explicación:

El tipo de acción metabólica que genera la glucólisis y la respiración celular se llama catabolismo porque en ambos procesos se descomponen las moléculas lo cual es una acción catabólica. El catabolismo es una forma de metabolismo que descompone moléculas más grandes en unidades más pequeñas que son utilizadas por la célula para liberar energía o utilizadas en otras reacciones anabólicas significa la síntesis de moléculas complejas en organismos a partir de otras más simples.
