Processes That Kill Phagocytosed Microbes

Agents include antimicrobial proteins and peptides, low pH, hydrolytic enzymes including lysozyme and proteases activated by the increasing acidity of the phagolysosomes, and specialized molecules that mediate oxidative attack.

ANDROGEN-INSENSITIVITY SYNDROME

These individuals have female external sexual characteristics. Vagina ends blindly and that the uterus, oviducts, and ovaries are absent.

 Inside the abdominal cavity, a pair of testes produce levels of testosterone normally seen in males. 

Woman with androgen-insensitivity syndrome contain an X and a Y chromosome. 

Testosterone bind to an androgen receptor. This receptor is defective in females with androgen-insensitivity syndrome.

The gene for the androgen receptor is located on the X chromosome

X-linked characteristic Characteristic determined by a gene or genes on the X chromosome.  Y-linked characteristic  Characteristic determined by a gene or genes on the Y chromosome. The locus for the blue pigment is found on chromosome 7, and those for the green and the red pigments lie close together on the X chromosome.

X-Linked Color Blindness in Humans 

The human eye perceives color through light-sensing cone cells that line the retina.  Each cone cell contains one of three pigments capable of absorbing light of a particular wavelength: one absorbs blue light, a second absorbs red light, and a third absorbs green light.
