Answer:
If an epidemic were declared in our town then one could be treated for it by way of vaccinations; finding the source of the disease could allow for it to be isolated and potentially eliminated
Good luck!
Answer:
DNA Helicase
Explanation:
The process of DNA replication is very complex and requires a variety of proteins in the form of Enzymes.
The DNA replication starts at the site which is about 245 base pairs long and is rich in AT sequences called Origin of replication. The origin of replication recognised by an enzyme called DNA helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds present between the bases and unwinds the DNA. The RNA primase enzymes then synthesizes an RNA primer which gets attached and to which DNA polymerase binds and add nucleotides.
Thus, the first enzyme that binds to the DNA is DNA helicase.
There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it.
There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one.
If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier).
If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease.
The answer is D)
