DochEvi [55]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A rare disease that causes damage to the cell's ribosomes will have as a direct effect the inability to perform protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are cellular organelles formed by proteins and a type of RNA called ribosomal RNA, whose function is to translate the genetic code of the mRNA codon sequence and convert it into amino acids. This implies the first step for protein synthesis to occur.

<em><u>If a rare disease could structurally or functionally affect the ribosomes, the translation of mRNA into amino acids could not occur, so protein synthesis in the cell would not be possible</u></em>.

The consequences of the lack of protein synthesis involve severe consequences on the structure and function of a living organism.

The germ cell has 2 sets of chromosomes, and the four gametes will each have one set of chromosomes. ​​​​​​​ To have enough DNA
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. Halved

B. Doubled (x2)

C. Quadrupled (x4)

D. Octupled (x8)

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Via the process of meiosis, gametes are formed in order for sexual reproduction to occur. However, the chromosomal content of the gametes are reduced by half. According to this question, a germ cell is said to have 2 sets of chromosomes i.e. diploid, meaning that each daughter cell after meiosis will have one set of chromosome (haploid, n).

However, before any form of division can occur, the DNA (genetic material) of the cell must be replicated i.e. doubled in order to ensure that each resulting gamete has enough chromosomes. This is applicable in this question as well as the DNA in the germ cell must be DOUBLED (×2) via replication in order to have enough DNA for each gamete.

The most common form of hemophilia is a defect in blood clotting factor VIII, which is caused by a mutant form of a gene on the
natta225 [31]

Answer:

Nondisjunction during sperm arrangement and formation brought about her getting no sex-chromosome from her dad and an X chromosome from her mom, she is XO.

Explanation:

Nondisjunction during sperm arrangement and formation brought about her getting no sex-chromosome from her dad and an X chromosome from her mom; she is XO.  

It is on the grounds that her mother happens to be a carrier of hemophilia and she transferred that mutant allele to her daughter and due to the fact that she did not get any sex-chromosome from her dad.

However, such mutant (X) communicates and expresses itself and she is hemophilic.

This (X) is not express in her mother because she possesses a recessive trait; as such it appears in the hom8zygous state.
