Answer: Rare X-linked recessive

Explanation:

In humans our biological sex-determination is based on a pair of sex chromosomes namely, XX in females, XY in males. The genes on our X chromosome are X-linked. and have special  patterns of inheritance due to their presence in contrasting numbers in males (XY, 1 X chromosome) and females (XX, 2 X chromosomes); thus they are more common in genetic males.

The observed trait is X-linked, and given that only half the sons are affected, the trait is recessive and carried by the heterozygous mother -heterozygous alleles are two variants of the allele at the same gene locus. The Y chromosome inherited from the father does not carry the gene, thus there is no normal copy available. The incidence for its inheritance is at 50% as the mother has two X hromosomes, one normal, and one carrying the trait.

Describe stages of cell signaling: a. List and describe the three stages of cell signaling. b. List the three types of receptors
liraira [26]

Answer:

a.There are three signaling pathway

1- Reception in which molecule binds to receptor

2- Signal transduction in which activation of intracellular pathway and enzyme occur.

3- Cellular response in which specific response of cell occur according to receptor and ligand.

b. Three types of receptors are

1- autocrine

2- paracrine

3- endocrine.

Explanation:

autocrine receptors are signaling pathway in which cell releases its molecule and bind to its own cell receptor example cancer cells while paracrine in which ligand binds to other nearby cell receptor and it is used during development  and in endocrine cell target distinct cell and travel through blood stream like hormones functioning.

What do anaerobic organisms have in common with photosynthetic organisms?
Dvinal [7]

Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.

Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic.  Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.

Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.
