Why is XcY color blind, but XcXC not color blind? Can an XcXC female pass the color blind trait to her children?

Biology

Somebody needs at least one XC to not be colorblind. XcY doesn't have XC, so they are colorblind. XcXC has XC, so they are not colorblind. (a colorblind female would need both to be colorblind - XcXc)

And XcXC female can pass colorblindless onto her children. For example, even if the father was a normal male (XCY), the one possible child could be XcY (with Xc from the mother and Y from the father), which doesn't have XC so its colorblind.

Which would probably have the greatest effect on a protein's function—a change to the primary, secondary, or tertiary structure?
Alja [10]

Answer:

There are 20 different standard L-α-amino acids used by cells for protein construction. Amino acids, as their name indicates, contain both a basic amino group and an acidic carboxyl group. This difunctionality allows the individual amino acids to join in long chains by forming peptide bonds: amide bonds between the -NH2 of one amino acid and the -COOH of another. Sequences with fewer than 50 amino acids are generally referred to as peptides, while the terms, protein and polypeptide, are used for longer sequences. A protein can be made up of one or more polypeptide molecules. The end of the peptide or protein sequence with a free carboxyl group is called the carboxy-terminus or C-terminus. The terms, amino-terminus and N-terminus, describe the end of the sequence with a free α-amino group.

The amino acids differ in structure by the substituent on their side chains. These side chains confer different chemical, physical, and structural properties to the final peptide or protein. The structures of the 20 amino acids commonly found in proteins are shown in Figure 1. Each amino acid has both a one-letter and three-letter abbreviation. These abbreviations are commonly used to simplify the written sequence of a peptide or protein.

figure1-Protein-Structure

Depending on the side-chain substituent, an amino acid can be classified as being acidic, basic or neutral. Although 20 amino acids are required for synthesis of various proteins found in humans, we can synthesize only ten. The remaining 10 are called essential amino acids and must be obtained in the diet.

The amino acid sequence of a protein is encoded in DNA. Proteins are synthesized by a series of steps called transcription (the use of a DNA strand to make a complimentary messenger RNA strand – mRNA) and translation (the mRNA sequence is used as a template to guide the synthesis of the chain of amino acids which make up the protein). Often, post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation or phosphorylation, occur which are necessary for the biological function of the protein. While the amino acid sequence makes up the primary structure of the protein, the chemical/biological properties of the protein are very much dependent on the three-dimensional or tertiary structure.

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is ___
alekssr [168]

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is <u>Invasive Species</u>.

The process by which a natural ecosystem can no longer support its native species is known as habitat destruction. Reduced biodiversity and species abundance result from the displacement or death of the creatures that once occupied the area. The loss of biodiversity is mostly caused by habitat degradation.

An imported organism that overpopulates and damages its new habitat is referred to as an invasive species. Even though the majority of imported species are neutral or helpful to other species, invasive species have a negative impact on habitats and bioregions, harming their ecology, the environment, and/or their economy.

The most frequent methods for invasive plants, animals, microorganisms, and other species to spread to new ecosystems are thought to be human activities like those involved in international trade and the pet trade.
