What kind of genetic disorder is represented in the pedigree?

an autosomal recessive disorder

Explanation:

Autosomal recessive disorders are inherited diseases caused by the presence of two copies (alleles) of an abnormal gene, thereby only homo-zygous recessive individuals are affected by this type of disease. In consequence, although both parents don't express the disease, they can be carriers and pass this recessive disorder to their offspring who express the disease. In this case, the pedigree shows that heterozygous parents are not affected but they are carriers of the recessive allele for this disease, thereby some offspring express the trait. The black circle (female) and the black square (male) indicate affected individuals in the pedigree chart. Since both parents are heterozygous, 1/4 (25%) of all offspring would be expected to have the autosomal recessive disorder.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.

hi there!

answer: b. nucleolus

explanation: nucleolus is a structure in the nucleus are ribosomes are made.

hope this you!

have a nice day! : )
