What is the relationship between genes, proteins, x chromosomes and the haemophillia disorder?
If this is a homework question then you are going to have to research more on this than what you are going to get off Yahoo Answers! Genes are made up of proteins situated on the double helix strands of DNA. DNA is translated into messenger RNA (mRNA) which is transcripted into a series of amino acids which make up proteins. (So here you may need to have an understanding of DNA, mRNA, base pairs, translation, codons, transcription, and amino acids). The haemophilia part is more simple:- Haemophilia is carried on the X chromsosome. Males have only one X chromosome inherited from the mother and one Y chromosome inherited from the father. Females have two X chromosomes, one from mother and one from father. Haemophilia is a recessive gene carried on the X chromosome. For a female to have the haemohpilia condition she would need to inherit the X chromosome with the haemophilia gene from her mother and the X chromosome from her haemophilia sufferer father. A male would have to have inherited
