Chytrids

Explanation:

chytrids are saphrotrophs, and have chitin cell walls and a posterior whiplash flagellum. They reproduce with zoospores that are capable of active movement through aqueous phases. For most members of chytrid group, asexual reproduction occurs through the release of these zoospores derived through mitosis. In some groups of chytrids, sexual reproduction is achieved through the fusion of isogametes. Chytrids are coenocytic with no distinction between individual cells. The filaments are long and tubular with a cytoplasm lining and large vacuole in the center. These single-celled organisms have branching hyphae with rhizoids.

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.

several tissues working together form an organ, and several organs together make up an organisms.
