phenotype male female There are about 1‚098 human X-linked genes. Most of them code for something other than female anatomical traits. Many of the non-sex determining X-linked genes are responsible for abnormal conditions such as hemophilia ‚ Duchenne muscular dystrophy ‚ fragile-X syndrome ‚ some high blood pressure‚ congenital night blindness‚ G6PD deficiency‚ and the most common human genetic disorder‚ red-green color blindness. X-linked genes are also responsible for a common

neutrophils. Neutrophils are cells in your immune system that attack bacteria and other organisms when they invade your body. 6. Why should hemophilia patients resist using aspirin? * Hemophilia is a rare blood disorder in which the blood does not clot normally. Asprin is an over the counter drug that thins your blood. If that person with hemophilia gets cut‚ the chances of them bleeding out are so much greater but there is nothing to stop it from bleeding. 7. Outline the pulmonary circuit

Many African Americans had already been diagnosed with a variety of blood disorders‚ including hemophilia‚ thus giving them better knowledge of necessary treatments (Ray 3).

differently from most people. This is the commonest form of color blindness‚ but it affects only .4 percent of women. The fact that color blindness is so much more prevalent among men implies that‚ like hemophilia‚ it is carried on the X chromosome‚ of which men have only one copy. (As in hemophilia‚ women are protected because they have two X chromosomes; a normal gene on one chromosome can often makes up for a defective gene on the other.) http://www.hhmi.org/senses.

Cell Cycle Describe how major events of cell division that enable the genome of one cell to be passed on to two daughter cells. List the phases of cell cycle and describe the sequence of events that occurs during each phase. There are two main stages of the cell cycle‚ with multiple subdivisions within each. Interphase is the first stage‚ and it’s composed of G1 (contents of the cell are duplicated sans the chromosomes)‚ S (chromosomal duplication)‚ and G2 (checkpoints) phase. After interphase‚
