Suppose you examined a pedigree of a large family, going back 6 generations. In generation 5, a woman ("G5W") has a serious gene

tic disease--its first incidence in the family. In the next generation, three of her offspring--two boys and one girl--are affected, with one daughter unaffected. What is the most likely explanation?(A) G5W's parent--the one who married into the family--carried the disease allele (but wasn't affected), and it is autosomal dominant.(B) A mutation in one of the G5W's parents, during gamete formation, created an X-linked dominant disease allele.(C) A mutation in G5W created an autosomal dominant disease allele.(D) The disease allele is recessive and X-linked; G5W's spouse also has the allele.

B: A mutation in one of G5W's parents, during gamete formation, created an X-linked dominant disease allele.

You need to analyze the sex gametes.

Boys are XY

Girls are XX

If you have an X-linked dominant disease you need only one affected X gamete to have the disease.

The mother has XX' where X' is de affected and reproduce with a healthy man XY and breed unhealthy boys, but because of the heterozygous gametes you could also have healthy ones XX and XY

vova2212 [387]

Cellular communication is the function of the plasma membrane that allows it to respond to certain stimuli from outside the cell and hormones to bind to receptors.

<h3>What is plasma membrane?</h3>

It is a double layer of lipids that covers and delimits the cells, serving as a border between the inside and the outside of the cell, and also allowing a physicochemical balance.

<h3>Characteristics of plasma membrane</h3>

Enables the development of compartments; allows or rejects the entry and/or exit of particles; acts as a mechanical defense; and reacts to external signals and stimuli.

It reacts and transmits information inside the cell, starting certain biochemical processes: cell division, cell movement or the segregation of biochemical substances.

Therefore, we can conclude that the main characteristic of the plasma membrane, that is, its ability to allow or reject the entry of certain molecules into the cell.

which structure within a bone contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood?
kogti [31]
Epiphyseal plate is the structure within a bone that contains cartilage cells that divide and increase the size of the bone until adulthood.

The epiphyseal plate, also known as epiphysial plate,or physis, or growth plate, is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone or diaphysis. The plate is found in children and adolescents; in adults, who have stopped growing, the plate is replaced by an epiphyseal line<span>.</span>
