There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it.
There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one.
If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier).
If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease.
The answer is D)
Physical exercise preserves bone mass. Measurements of bone biomarkers may reflect the events in bone during exercise. Fifteen healthy, well-trained individuals (7 men and 8 women) performed a running test for 21 min until exhaustion. Venous blood samples were drawn before and 30 min after the exercise to measure the levels of osteocalcin, the carboxyterminal propeptide of type I procollagen (PICP) and the carboxyterminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP). After exercise, the women had a marked increase in serum osteocalcin concentrations (from 7.5±5.0 μg/1 to 11.5±3.0 μg/1), whereas the level was unaffected in the men (from 14.5±3.0 μg/1 to 13.5±4.6 μg/l). In the men there was a marked increase in PICP (from 240±47 μg/1 to 268±56 μg/1) that was not seen in the women (from 244±70 μg/1 to 253±60 μg/1). In neither group did ICTP levels change. In conclusion, significant responses were seen in PICP and osteocalcin during exercise, indicating that such measurements may be valuable for the further delineation of the effects of physical activity on bone. Furthermore, the different responses in men and women point to interesting areas for future studies.
A group of people are building a house. They have a large package of building materials that needs to be moved. A block and tackle, a type of pulley, is used to pull the material up so it can be set in the back of a truck.
Non-random mating is assortative mating. It is a pattern and form of sexual selection in which individuals with similar phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than would be expected under a random mating pattern. non-random mating can act as an ancillary process for natural selection to cause evolution to occur. It’s also bad for evolution because any departure from random mating upsets the equilibrium distribution of genotypes in a population. Recombination is a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles. recombination is important to somatic cells in eukaryotes because it can be used to help repair broken DNA. recombination by itself does not cause evolution to occur. Rather, it is a contributing mechanism that works with natural selection by creating combinations of genes that nature selects for or against. Non-random mating affects the evolution more than recombination
The pattern of inheritance is called codominance when the father has type A and the mother has type B and the kids have type AB blood. This is when the both of the alleles will show equal dominance/impact after mating. The type A blood has the gene pattern iAi or iAiA. The type B blood has the gene pattern iBi or iBiB. The correct answer to this question is "codominance."
