Men have xy (or yx) chromosomes and women have xx chromosomes. x-linked recessive genetic diseases (such as juvenile retinoschisis) occur when there is a defective x chromosome that occurs without a paired x chromosome that is not defective. represent a defective x chromosome with lowercase x, so a child with the xy or yx pair of chromosomes will have the disease and a child with xx or xy or yx or xx or xx will not have the disease. each parent contributes one of the chromosomes to the child. complete parts a through d below. a. if a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good xx chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease? b. if a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good xx chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease? c. if a mother has one defective x chromosome and one good x chromosome and the father has good xy chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease? d. if a mother has one defective x chromosome and one good x chromosome and the father has good xy chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease?

What are the two main phases of a cell cycle

Rease is an enzyme used by plants to break down urea (a nitrogen-containing compound) into carbon dioxide and ammonia. urease urea > > > carbon dioxide and ammonia ammonia is broken down by plants into a nitrogen source plants need to grow. thus, plants could not use urea as a nitrogen source unless it was first converted to ammonia. in soybean plants there are two different kinds of urease, one produced in the seeds and the other produced in the leaves of the plant. three types of soybean plants were used in a set of experiments: normal soybeans and two mutant strains, one lacking the urease in the seeds only (strain 1) and one lacking urease in the leaves only (strain 2). experiment 1 separate areas in a field were planted with normal, strain 1, and strain 2 soybeans. all types of soybeans appeared to grow, flower, and produce seeds equally well. there were no externally detectable differences among the strains. experiment 2 small pieces of plant leaves of equal weight were obtained from each type of soybean plant and separately placed on media in culture dishes. tissue growing in this way will become an unorganized clump of cells referred to as callus. to provide a controlled nitrogen source, half the tissue samples of each type were placed on media containing urea, and the other half of the samples were placed on media containing ammonia. after 30 days, the weight gain for each of the callus samples was determined. results are shown in the table below.
