Chromosomes are made of condensed coils of DNA. Genes are segments on a chromosome that carry the code for a specific trait. Alleles are contrasting forms of a gene. Dominant means that a particular trait will be visible. Recessive means that a trait will be hidden (unless it is paired with another recessive gene). A trait is how the gene is seen. For example, eye color is a trait.
BB or Bb because brown eyes are dominant and blue eyes are recessive.
Glucose provides energy that can quickly be used to generate ATP if needed by muscle cells. Starches have to be hydrolyzed to make glucose molecules so they would be useful for endurance situations
Answer:
50% or 1/2. The result remains unchanged if the husband were to have G6PD.
Explanation:
For X-linked recessive inheritance, a female (XX) needs two recessive alleles to be affected while a male needs only one (XY). It is hypothetically assumed that the Y chromosome does not carry any trait.
Assuming the allele for the disease is represented by g, a woman whose father suffered from G6PD is a carrier for the disease with genotype
. A normal man will have the genotype
. When the 2 marries:
x
=
It thus means that 50% or 1/2 of their sons will be expected to have G6PD.
Now, assuming the husband has G6PD, the mating becomes:
x
=
50% or 1/2 of their sons is still expected to have G6PD. The ratio remains unchanged.
