Duchenne muyscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, so a male gets it from his mother's X, if she is a carrier. The male child gets a Y and no X from his father, so the disease is always transmitted through the X from the mother. If a female gets Duchenne muscular dystrophy she has to have two X chromosomes, one from a carrier mother and another from from an affected father. This is virtually impossible because most males die before childbearing age and there is no way a female child can get an X from a man who does not live long enough to procreate. About eight percent of carrier women do show some muscle weakness, but they do not have the disease.

A cell can only grow so large in size, because
sweet-ann [11.9K]
<span>A cell can only grow so large in size because its ability to exchange materials is affected by a growing surface-to-volume ratio. Nature designed cells to be small in size because of the network of membranes passing through it. If cells grow any bigger, membranes in it will not be able to pass through its different parts and perform their purpose.


A cell is a network composed of many organelles (e.g. mitochondria, nucleus), that communicate and work together to provide bodily functions. The cell is small so that communication between organelles will be faster and much easier. When cells are small they can be easily repaired when damaged and replicated when needed.</span>

The light-harvesting complexes of a chloroplast are located in the ________; the enzymes of the calvin cycle reactions are locat
BartSMP [9]

The light-harvesting complexes of a chloroplast are located in the thylakoid membrane.

The enzymes of the calvin cycle reactions are located in the stroma.

Chloroplast, found in plant cells and some protists such as algae and cyanobacteria, is a cell organelle known as a plastid. Chloroplasts are oval-shaped and have two membranes: an outer membrane and an inner membrane.

The enzymes required during the calvin cyle reaction are present in the stroma while, thylakoid System is the internal membrane system consisting of flattened sac-like membrane structures called thylakoids where light energy is converted into chemical energy. Thylakoids contain the light-harvesting complex, including the electron transport chains used in photosynthesis and pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids.
