Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
<em>Hemophilia typically affects more males than females because the disorder is </em><em>X-linked </em><em>and </em><em>recessive</em><em>. </em>
<u>Females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males only have one X and one Y chromosome (XY). The two X chromosomes in females are capable of carrying alleles while the Y chromosome in males is hypothesized not able to carry alleles. </u>
Consequently, the two X chromosomes in females will both need to carry the recessive allele of hemophilia in order for any female to be affected for hemophilia while the males only need their single X chromosome to carry the recessive allele in order to be affected.
In order words, the presence of a single recessive allele is not enough for a female to be affected while it is more than enough for a male to be affected. Hence, more males are affected b hemophilia disorder than females.
This is called homeostasis
Answer choices:
- A frame shift mutation in the X chromosome of a cheek cell
- A chromosomal mutation in the Y chromosome of a kidney cell
- A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
- A substitution mutation in the third chromosome of a uterus cell
Answers:
A point mutation in the first chromosome of a sperm cell
Explanation:
Only mutations that affect the germ line are passed on to the next generation. Therefore, only mutations in the egg and sperm of an individual have the potential to affect the next generation.
Mutations in cheek cells, kidney cells, and uterus cells might cause cell death or cancer. This genetic material is not passed on to the next generation, only the egg and sperm contribute this material. Therefore, only mutations here will affect the generation.
