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

X chromosome. Boys who inherit that mutation from their mother suffer from uncontrolled bleeding. Girls carrying one copy of this mutation have near normal blood clotting. Uncommonly, a girl is born with hemophilia even though both parents have normal phenotypes. Which of the statements might explain hemophilia in a girl born to parents with normal blood clotting phenotypes?
A. A non-disjunction event in sperm production resulted in her receiving X and Y chromosomes from her father and an X from her mother; she is XXY.
B. Non-disjunction during sperm formation resulted in her receiving no sex chromosome from her father and an X chromosome from her mother; she is XO.
C. Non-disjunction during egg formation resulted in her receiving two X chromosomes from her mother and an X chromosome from her father; she is XXX.
D. Non-disjunction during egg formation resulted in her receiving no X chromosome from her mother but an X from her father; she is XO.

Answer:

The correct answer is - B. Non-disjunction during sperm formation resulted in her receiving no sex chromosome from her father and an X chromosome from her mother; she is XO.

Explanation:

In this case, the mother was a carrier of hemophilia and she transfers that mutant allele to her daughter and as the daughter did not get any sex chromosome from her father.

Therefore, mutant X expresses itself and she is hemophilic. This X did not express in case, of her mother due to fact that it is a recessive allele and only expresses when both genes is the same state.

The chromosome is the sex determiner for many species. t/f
Veseljchak [2.6K]
<span>It is true that the chromosome is the sex determiner for many species. There are two types of chromosome - X, which determines the female sex, and Y, which determines the male sex. Based on these chromosomes, the child will either be a man or a woman. There are some cases where a person has only one type of a chromosome, X, when they are considered to be an 'inter sex,' although resembling females more. This is different that the usual set of chromosomes - XX for female, and XY for male.</span><span />

What did fungi diverge from?
prisoha [69]
Hopes this helps:

Answer: In 1998 scientists discovered that fungi split from animals about 1.538 billion years ago, whereas plants split from animals about 1.547 billion years ago. This means fungi split from animals 9 million years after plants did, in which case fungi are actually more closely related to animals than to plants.

Have a great day.

How is perspiration related to recovery after exercise?
lys-0071 [83]
I would say that the way perspiration is related to recovery after exercise is that the body replenishes water and ions during perspiration so the muscles can rest and repair during the cool down period.

How do paleontologist learn about evolution ?
DanielleElmas [232]
Paleontologists can identify organisms that may be ancient relatives of those living today. By looking at fossils they can also suggest how these organisms lived together in an ancient habitat. Few organisms become fossilized because the circumstances that an organism has to be in is very specific.
