Answer:

A. Grandmother.  

B. 0

Explanation:

A. If there is no history of the disease in the family, there were only female unaffected genetic carriers. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disease linked to the X chromosome, all man with the mutation will display the disease, since they have only one X chromosome (XY). Women have XX, so, if they inherit an abnormal dystrophin gene, but they have a normal allele on the other X chromosome, they won´t develop the muscular dystrophy.  

B. The problem does not state that the woman is a carrier, so, the probability of having a child affected is zero. The disease is linked to the X chromosome, so, sons will not be affected, and daughters would have a copy of the mutated gene, but will not display the symptoms.

Is the reduced form of cytochrome c more likely to give up its electron to oxidized cytochrome a or cytochrome b, why? Provide a
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The reduced form of cytochrome c more likely to give up its electron to oxidized cytochrome a having a higher reduction potential.  

Explanation:

Electrons from NADH and FADH2 flow spontaneously from one electron carrier of the electron transport chain to the other. This occurs since the proteins of the ETC are present in the order of increasing reduction potential. The reduced cytochrome b has lower reduction potential than cytochrome c1 which in turn has a lower reduction potential than the cytochrome c.

Cytochrome c is a soluble protein and its single heme accepts an electron from cytochrome b of the Complex III. Now, cytochrome c moves to complex IV which has higher reduction potential and donates the electron to cytochrome a which in turn passes the electrons to O2 via cytochrome a3.
