If a father is affected by an X-linked dominant condition and the mother is not, which children can inherit the condition?

Biology

Answer:

only females

Explanation:

In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.

Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).

N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.

Living things come from other living things through either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Organisms don’t have to only reproduce sexually or only reproduce asexually - some animals do both!

When conditions are good, such organisms will reproduce asexually because it is easier. For example, starfish (by fragmentation), slime molds, and water fleas/daphnia (by parthenogenesis) all reproduce asexually when there is plenty of food, minimal predators, and not too much crowding of individuals of the same species.

When conditions worsen (less food, too many individuals, etc), they may switch to sexual reproduction in order to add genetic variation to their population and ensure survival through difficult times.

The mass of an atom is contained primarily in its _____. A. Electron Shell B. Nucleus C. Proton D. Size
igor_vitrenko [27]
The mass of an atom is contained primarily in its NUCLEUS.
An atom is made up of three sub particles, which are proton, neutrons and electrons. The proton and the neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom while the electron  are located outside the nucleus where they move about in continuous motion around the nucleus. The proton and the neutrons, which are located in the nucleus have the same relative mass of 1, which has been estimated to be about 2,000 times bigger than that of the electron, which has a relative mass of 0.0005. This shows that, the mass of an atom is located primarily in its nucleus. <span />

This is because as concrete trays ages with timeit becomes coarse and rugged due to water, soap and detergents. Their smoothness gradually fades with time, thus this makes it not as good regarding to health wise standards of living.

Sliva [168]

Scientific models must be able to generate PREDICTIONS.

Scientific models refers to frameworks, which are used to elucidate and predict the behavior of an object or a system. Scientists usually use models to carry out research and to explain the results of their research. A good and effective scientific model should be able to make accurate predictions.
