Anybody know much about this area and would be instrested in helping me out. Doing a little bit of extra credit and need it bad but confused about some questions. Please let me know if you can help me out.

 

post the questions? :dunno:

 

what's your question?

 

1. Explain why the father of a girl who is colorblind must be colorblind?

2. Compare and contrst turner's syndrome and Klinefelter's syndrome.

3. Describe the process of transcription and translation. Use diagrams that are labeled as well as a narrative. Be sure to address the loacation in the cell where transcription and translation take place.

 

recessive trait that is passed on by the y chromosome? just a guess but it makes sense

 

you can get all those answers from the internet. #1 can probably be easily answered by paying attention to the dominant traits chart that you guys probably had to draw out. :thinking:

but im not a hard sciences person h:

 

The Y chromosome doesn't pass on any genetic information, the genetic info is stored on the X. For the colorblind thing, I would say that colorblindness is probably a recessive trait, which would mean that she had to have received it from both parents. Since she is a she, she received a copy of her father's X chromosome, which must have held the colorblindness. Her mother must be at least a carrier. I think that's right. I'm rusty on this stuff.
