X-linked recessive traits are more common in males because the decease is only carried on the X chromosome therefore females need two copies of the gene to have the decease whereas in males they only need one copy. This is because males are XY and females are XX

X-linked recessive traits are more common in males than females because males only have one X chromosome while females have two. This means that if a male inherits an X chromosome with a recessive allele, it will be expressed in his phenotype.

What are the essential parts of a controlled experiment?

vampirchik [111]

<span>There needs to be an independent variable, a dependent variable, a constant, and a control group. The independent variable is the part that is manipulated. The dependent variable is affected by the independent variable. The constant is the part kept the same throughout all of the experiments. The control group is the normal group that is untreated.</span>

After Darwin proposed his ideas about natural selection as a mechanism for evolution, it took time before evolution was generall

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

A scientific theory refers to the possible explanation of the natural event. It can be tested repeatedly and can be verified by anyone with the help of predefined sets of protocols and scientific experimentation.

Similarly, Darwin proposed the idea of natural selection as the mechanism of evolution.

Various experiments in labs, as well as observations made under natural conditions, proved that natural selection plays a major role in the evolution.

Examples may include industrial melanism of peppered moths, long neck of Giraffe, different shapes and sizes of beaks of Darwin finches et cetera.

This is why natural selection is considered a theory now.

Answer: Option E -- RNA Editing

Explanation:

It should be noted that, RNA editing can be defined as a molecular process via which some cells can make discrete changes to specific nucleotide sequences within an mRNA molecule after it has been generated by RNA polymerase. In addition, we have two major types of RNA editing with 1 being a C-to-U change catalyzed by cytidine deaminase that deaminates a cytidine base into a uridine base, e.g C-to-U editing is with the apolipoprotein B gene in humans. ApoB-100 is expressed in the liver and apoB-48 is expressed in the intestines. The B-100 form comprises of a CAA sequence that is edited to UAA, a stop codon, in the intestines.
