Answer: There is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit Huntington's disease
Explanation:
Huntington's disease is expressed by a dominant allele.
Since the father is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, his genotype would be as follows:Hh
Even though he carries a normal allele, the dominant allele is disease causing and thus masks the effects of the normal allele, therefore he expresses the disease.
The mother does not have Huntington's because she is homozygous recessive, in other words, she carries 2 copies of the normal alleles.with the genotype hh.
If you do a punnet square, and you cross the mother and father, the following genotypes can be produced:
Hh, Hh, hh, hh
Therefore, there's a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the disease causing allele and 50% chance that the offspring will not inherit it.
Answer:
Bronchial pneumonia
Explanation:
The secondary infection is caused during the treatment for any infection or after the treatment. The changes in the immune system is a cause of this infection. For example, upper respiratory infection like cold or flu that are caused by the virus can cause a secondary infection called pneumonia that is caused by the bacteria.
The bronchial pneumonia is a kind of pneumonia that can cause inflamed lungs. This infection leads to fluid- filled alveoli of lungs. This can cause severe cough, breathing problem and fever. This infection can lead to death in children below the five years of age.
Answer:
Pangenesis
Explanation:
The theory of 'pangenesis' was proposed by Darwin to explain the process of inheritance of genetic traits from one generation to next. According to this theory, gemmules are the tiny particles produced by all the somatic cells of the body of living beings. These gemmules are also called pangene. Blood carries gemmules from all the body cells to the gonads. These gemmules from all the somatic cells form germ cells in gonads.
Answer: During the process of transcription, the information stored in a gene's DNA is transferred to a similar molecule called RNA (ribonucleic acid) in the cell nucleus. ... A type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA) assembles the protein, one amino acid at a time.
