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.

While ____ hormones can travel freely in the blood,_____ hormones require a carrier protein because they are not soluble in the
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

While <u>water soluble</u> hormones can travel freely in the blood, <u>lipid soluble </u>hormones require a carrier protein because they are not soluble in the aqueous plasma

Explanation:

The water-soluble hormones such as insulin are dissolved in the blood and are carried along with the blood to their target cells.  

However, lipid-soluble hormones such as steroid hormones (cortisol) and thyroxine are hydrophobic in nature. These hormones are not dissolved in water-based blood plasma. So, these lipid-soluble hormones are carried through the carrier proteins.

How does phloem differ from xylem?
Pani-rosa [81]

Phloem is the food conducting tissue that has a two-way flow.

Explanation:

Plants prepare food on their own and plants also have conductive cells that carry out transportation process. Plants are divided into two types based on their conductive system i.) vascular plants  ii.) non vascular plants.

Vascular plants are those plants which have special conductive cells called phloem and xylem.

Xylem transports water from roots of the plants to other parts of plants and also provides mechanical support to plant. It is uni-directional.

Phloem is the food conducting tissue that transports food to plant and also have bi-directional movement.
