1.) Colorblindness and hemophilia are among several diseases that are known as sex-linked diseases. Explain why it is much more common for males to be colorblind than it is for females to be colorblind.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is the enzyme responsible for converting ethanol to acetaldehyde (reaction below). It is the enzyme responsible for the metabolism of ethanol in the alcoholic beverages we consume. ADH has a broad substrate specificity and can also oxidize methanol (wood alcohol) and ethylene alcohol (antifreeze). The poisonous nature of these compounds results from the ADH-catalyzed conversion of these compounds to toxic products. For example, ADH converts methanol to formaldehyde, which is toxic to the optic nerve and can produce blindness.

Certain individuals are more sensitive to alcohol than others. For example, women are more sensitive to alcohol than men, women generally become more intoxicated than men after consuming the same amount of alcohol. Using Michaelis–Menten kinetics equation, give biochemical reasons that would explain why women become more intoxicated than men when consuming an equal amount of alcohol.

Why are recessive X-linked traits seen more often in human malesthan in human females? (Select all that apply.)

Males have an X chromosome, but females do not.

Actually, X-linked traits are seen more often in females than inmales, because they have two X chromosomes.

Males don’t have a second X chromosome to mask the effects ofthe first one.

This phenomenon is due to X-inactivation.

While females would need two of these alleles to express therecessive phenotype, males only need one.

Sperm are more likely to carry an X chromosome than a Ychromosome.
