Why are women often carriers of X linked traits but rarely affected by them?

X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes; men have one X and one Y. Genes on the X chromosome can be recessive or dominant. Their expression in females and males is not the same.

Women have 2 X chromosomes, unlike men who have XY. In women, a recessive allele on one X chromosome is often masked in their phenotype by a dominant normal allele on the other.

Explanation:

In informal words, if you have an X-linked trait that is recessive and are male, you will be affected cuz there is no other X to "override" that recessive trait because Y is (as we know) non-coding. Whereas if you are female, both of your Xs would have to carry a recessive trait for you to be affected, thus it is rarer for women to be affected by X-linked traits.

the answer is yes, they are born/created, then they grow to their limit then produce offspring, then die.

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
