The genotype of the unknown individual is X^BX^b.

Males receive their X chromosomes from their mother.

They are not equally segregated among the male and female offsprings.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

20. In case of the 1st pedigree problem, we can see that the male parent has the genotype of X^bY. And the female offspring has the genotype of X^BX^b. If the female gets the X^b from her father, then X^B has to be from the mother.

Now in the male offspring, the offspring gets the X^b from mother, because males get the X chromosome from their mothers. So the mother has the genotype of X^BX^b.

21. The males have the genetic setup of 44 +XY. They get the 44 chromosomes equally from both the parents - 22 from father and 22 from mother. And as the mother has only X chromosomes as the allosomes, then the offspring gets Y chromosome from their father and X chromosome from their mother.

22. In the autosomal characters, the males have both pairs of functional chromosomes, so the relationship of dominant and recessive acts very well. But in case of the allosomes, they have only X chromosomes as the functional one, Y chromosome doesn't have any functional gene. So the gene which is present in X chromosomes, whether dominant or recessive, gets expressed in males. But in females, there are two X chromosomes, so the dominant and recessive characteristics gets reflected there. So in case of presence of one recessive allele, they becomes carriers.

soldi70 [24.7K]

The correct answer is endothelium.

The endothelium is a thin layer of single-layered, squamous cells that can be found in the lumen of blood vessels, on the interior surfaces of the heart chambers, in the glomerulus of the kidney...The main function of endothelium is barrier function when it acts as a semi-selective barrier between the lumen of the vessels and surrounding tissue, and thus, controls the passage of materials. The endothelium is also included in functions such as fluid filtration in the kidneys, the control of blood pressure (vasodilatation and vasoconstriction), inflammation.

What alternate form of genes do nucleic acids have that allows them to offer variability allele codon nucleotide chromosome
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The options to this question are:

A) allele

B) codon

C) nucleotide

D) chromosome

The answer is A) allele

Explanation:

RNA and DNA are the two nucleic acids in living organisms used for transferring and storing genetic information. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living organisms that contains segment coding for useful products/proteins and transmits genetic information from one generation to another. These segments are called GENES.

However, genes contain an alternate form responsible for genetic variation in the traits coded for by them. These alternate or variant form of a gene is called ALLELE. In a diploid organism like human, each trait is encoded by genes which contain contrasting pair of alleles that allows variation for that particular trait i.e. two alleles for each gene. For example, height trait in humans are encoded by gene, which possess two alleles; one coding for short variety (t) and the other for tall variety (T).

Chemicals called ________ are stored in neurons and released when the cell is stimulated by a signal.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Neurotransmitters

Explanation:

Neurotransmitters are the chemicals present in the body used for the propagation of action potential. These neurotransmitters are also known as the body chemical messengers.

Neurotransmitters are stored in the neural cells. These chemicals are generally released when the cell is stimulated by the specific signal. The effect of neurotransmitter may be excitatory or inhibitory.

Thus, the answer is option (4).
