Which specific population is affected by Turner syndrome?
The population affected is females. The chromosome that this affects is on the X chromosome which is the sex chromosome that females carry. This affects 1 in every 2,500 live births.
Chromosomes found in somatic cells and are perfectly matched in males and females?
In both males and females there are 22 perfectly matched chromosomes. The somatic cells in humans total 46 chromosomes. Females get the XX sex chromosome while males get the Y chromosome.
Is a female 2 X chromosomes?
Yes, and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
How does the cell adjust to the extra X- chromosome in the female cells?
In females, the extra X chromosome becomes inactive and becomes the Barr body.
Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
Is sickle cell anemia a sexlinked trait?
Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
What kind of chromosome do females transmit of offspring?
Female transmit 23 chromosomes to the offspring. She has that unique chromosome called as X chromosome. This is transmitted to the offspring. From male you get either X or Y chromosome. From XX chromosome you get female child. From XY chromosome you get male child.
What sex chromosome does a human egg cell contain?
The sex chromosome typically carried by an ovum is X-chromosome. The sperm may carry either x or y sex chromosome.
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex link trait?
Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.
5 Explain why there were no white eyed female fruit flies?
The gene for eye color is only carried on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes and white is recessive, there are no white-eye females.
Is fragile x syndrome sex linked?
Yes. It is found as a mutation on the X chromosome (a sex chromosome) so it is sex linked. The gene for Fragile X is carried on the X chromosome. Because both males (XY) and females (XX) have at least one X chromosome, both can pass on the mutated gene to their children.
Most copies of harmful recessive alleles are carried by?
individuals that are heterozygous for alleles
Does the male or female pass colorblindess to the offspring?
It is on the X Chromosome (male have XY chromosome Females have XX Chromosome)
Which specific population is affected by Turner syndrome?
The population affected is females. The chromosome that this affects is on the X chromosome which is the sex chromosome that females carry. This affects 1 in every 2,500 live births.
What is it an example of when calico cats are mostly females because the allele for different covers is carried on the X chromosome so males are never multi colored?
sex-linked inheritance
What kind of disease is CGD?
CGD is an X-linked genetic disease, meaning the defective gene is carried on the X chromosome (one of the sex chromosomes). Females have two copies of the X chromosome, whereas males have one X and one Y.
Explain why the incidence of color blindness is higher in male than females?
Overall, colorblindness is much more common in males than females due to the fact that it is a sex-linked trait. The gene for colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome. Since this is a recessive condition, males will be more likely to express it due to the fact they only have one X chromosome while the females have two.
