Is it possible for individual IV-2 to be a carrier? Why? Please help!

Kamila [148]3 years ago

Answer:

No, it is not.

Explanation:

Looking at this chart, this looks to me to be a case of an x-linked recessive disease.  (If you want to know how to tell, or got some context that this is not the case, let me know)

Remember that females have two x chromosomes and males have one x and one y chromosome. As this disease is recessive, this means that for a female to exhibit the disease, she must have both x chromosomes have the disease. If she only has one x chromosome with the disease, she's considered a carrier.

On the other hand, males are completely binary, as they only have one x chromosome - either their x chromosome has the disease, and they exhibit it, or their x chromosome does not, and they do not have the disease, nor do they carry it. Thus, males can also not be carriers.

A square on the chart is representative of a male, while a circle is a female. IV-2 is a square, thus he is a male. This means that he cannot be a carrier, so your answer is no.

If any of this doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know! Hope this helps.

At the end of mitosis, __________ daughter cells that are genetically __________ are formed, while at the end of meiosis, ______
Bond [772]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, __two________ daughter cells that are genetically _____similar_____ are formed, while at the end of meiosis, _____four_____ daughter cells that are genetically _____distinct_____ are formed.

Explanation:there are two types of cell division; mitosis which occurs in somatic cells and meiosis which occurs in reproductive cells.

In mitosis, division occurs once leading to the production of two daughters cells.crossing over does not occur in the chromosome, so the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.

In meiosis,cell division occurs twice ,(meiosis I & II),leading to the production of four daughter cells.

Crossing over occurs,leading to genetic variation in the daughter cells.
