Answer: Spindle Formation

Explanation:Mitosis begins with prophase, during which chromosomes recruit condensin and begin to undergo a condensation process that will continue until metaphase. In most species, cohesin is largely removed from the arms of the sister chromatids during prophase, allowing the individual sister chromatids to be resolved. Cohesin is retained, however, at the most constricted part of the chromosome, the centromere (Figure 9). During prophase, the spindle also begins to form as the two pairs of centrioles move to opposite poles and microtubules begin to polymerize from the duplicated centrosomes.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is inherited as an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A woman whose father

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) 1/2; (b) no

Explanation:

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.

In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.

The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.

(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:

They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.

(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.

The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.

Which of the following would indicate that a person has developed a hereditary form of hypertension

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The hereditary form of hypertension is detected when the adrenal gland produces too much aldosterone.

Explanation:

Hypertension is an important risk factor for several cardiovascular disease. If prolonged it damages the blood vessels causing malfunctioning of the heart, kidneys and brain. Hypertension can be caused due to various genetic or environmental factors.

There are cases where familial hypertension are detected. This is caused due to the mutation in a single gene which is passed on to the generations where even in young age the children are seen affected with hypertension.

This in medical terms is termed as familial hyperaldosteronism type II. This is occurred due to the mutation in CLCN2 gene. It tends to produce too much of aldosterone hormone which causes high blood pressure.

Why bacteria cannot grow on pickle and jam kept in refrigerator but fungi can

madreJ [45]

Most macteria canot grow well in acid fluids like pickle juice. so its the combination of salt and acid. as for fungi, i can only guess..... many bacteria dont grow well if the temperature is coldish or if the conditiones are very salty or sugary

What we already know:

All species under normal circumstances will have two sex chromosomes. X and Y, Y is known to be dominant. All females will have two X chromosomes (XX, one X will always be given by the mother), whereas males will have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome (XY, one X will always be given by the mother. The father, on the other hand, could give either an X or a Y, that all depends on what sex chromosome the father's sperm donated.)

So, how many chromosomes do a typical human have? Correct, a typical human has 32 chromosomes and only 2 of them are sex chromosomes. Now we must understand that the sex chromosome carries more than just the one code for the individual sex. That means that the gene codes for more than just the sex.

Building on that knowledge:

Sex-Related Inheritance that differs from sex, is carried on one or two of an individual's sex chromosome. Whereas Non-Sex-Related Inheritance is carried on the other thirty chromosomes that the individual also carries.

Sex-Related inherited genes that are passed via the father to male offsprings, carried on the Y chromosome, are easiest to spot in a family. All males will have this trait and no females will.

Non-sex-related inheritance can be passed from male to female and from female to male, this is sometimes harder to differentiate from genes carried on the X chromosome because the mother always gives an X chromosome.

Vocabulary:

phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.

Pinching in of fluids by a unicellular organism is the process of

Phantasy [73]

Pinching in of fluids by a unicellular organism is the process of pinocytosis or fluid endocytosis. The cell takes in surrounding fluids, including all of the substances available, without differentiating. It is a non-specific process. The membrane of the unicellular organism elongates, captures the fluid and small vesicles are pinched off intracellularly. These vesicles then are processed by the organelles of the cell.
