When cellular respiration occurs within a cell, carbon dioxide is formed as a waste product. the carbon dioxide is transported out of the cell and absorbed by the blood stream. there, the carbon dioxide undergoes a chemical reaction and forms carbonic acid within the blood. when the carbonic acid reaches the capillaries in the lungs, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase reverse the reaction, and the carbonic acid is converted back to carbon dioxide and water. which of the following would most likely happen if a person's body stopped producing carbonic anhydrase?

Even we don`t have options to choose, the correc answer would be: The blood`s acidity would increase and become toxic.

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrase plays a key role in the regulation of PH and fluid balance in different parts of our body.

In the stomach lining, it plays a role in secreting acid; and also helps to make pancreatic juices alkaline and our saliva neutral.

These are some functions that wouldn`t be developed in our body with the absence of carbonic anhydrase.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
