What is a sex-linked disorder?

Biology
1 answer:
Ugo [173]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Sex linked is a trait in which a gene is located on a sex chromosome. In humans, the term generally refers to traits that are influenced by genes on the X chromosome. This is because the X chromosome is large and contains many more genes than the smaller Y chromosome.

Ex: hemophilia

hope this helps

have a good day :)

How does the size of the soil particles impact<br> the soil's permeability (movement of water)?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Water moves by gravity into the open pore spaces in the soil, and the size of the soil particles and their spacing determines how much water can flow in. Wide pore spacing at the soil surface increases the rate of water infiltration, so coarse soils have a higher infiltration rate than fine soils.

How does soil particle size affect permeability?

But permeability is a different thing. It increases as particle size increases. By definition, permeability is a MEASURE OF EASE with which fluids will flow though a porous rock, soil or sediment. ... That means capillarity increase as particle sizes decreases.

During the stage of a plant's life cycle where it is a haploid structure, the body of the plant is correctly referred to as a(n)
olganol [36]

Answer:

The haploid structure of the plant, during a stage in plant's life cycle, is known as the <u>gametophyte.</u>

Explanation:

The life cycle of plants includes a haploid generation and a diploid generation. Both the structures are multicellular.

The diploid structure of a plant is known as sporophyte. This structure produces spores via meiotic division.

Whereas, the haploid structure of the plant, known as the gametophyte, is formed from spore and produces haploid gametes.

A marine biologist explains that the salmon adapts to its environment through descent with modification. What is "descent with m
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
  • The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
  • These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
  • So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
  • So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>

In all cells, separation of replicated chromosomes is a prerequisite for cell division. However, the mechanism of chromosome sep
Ipatiy [6.2K]

1. two copies of the duplicated chromosome are attached at their centromeres before separating

2. chromosomes replicate before cell division

3. chromosome separation begins at the origin of replication on DNA

4. Before separation duplicated chromosomes condense; nuclear envelope fragments permitting chromosome separation

5. replicated chromosomes separate by attaching to some other structural feature of the cell

Explanation:

In the given question, the DNA replication steps of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes are provided in which some are common to both eukaryotes and prokaryotes and some are unique to the prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

<u>Eukaryotes </u>

1. Option-4 as the nuclear envelope is present in eukaryotes only.

2. Option-1 as centromere allows the kinetochores bind to the centromere which separates the chromosome.

<u>Bacteria </u>

1. Option-3 as DNA replication process separates the strand of the DNA.

<u>Both </u>

1. Option-5 as the chromosomes separate by other structures like microtubules

2. Option-2 as genetic material to be passed on to the generation must be replicated.
