Answer:

X-linked recessive inheritance

Explanation:

Since the disease is primarily present in males vs females, it is a s.ex linked disease.

In X-linked recessive inheritance, males tend to get disease b/c they only have one x (the other is y) which means if they get the bad "x" copy from mom then they definetely will get the disease.

Females can be carriers b/c they are XX. If they get a good copy from mom and suppose a bad copy from dad, they can still be healthy b/c the good copy is dominant. They will be carriers (cuz they have the bad copy) but themselves wont have the disease.

soldier1979 [14.2K]
We must first define these three prominent definitions of species. Biological species concept means that organisms resemble each other because of genes being passed from parent to offspring. Phylogenetic species concept means that organisms resemble each other because they evolved from a common ancestor. Lastly, morphological species concept characterizes species on the structure of their body parts rather than genetic or phylogeny. 

In this case, (1) biological species concept is not applicable for extinct species, (2) phylogenetic species concept is based on evolutionary history, (3) morphological species concept relies on similarities in structure, (4) Morphological and phylogenetic species concept accommodates asexual reproduction, and lastly (5) all species concepts are used by scientists in classification.

9. What impact could a MUTATION in this protein have on future generations of Antarctic fish?
OLga [1]
Well a mutation is like a change in the DNA and so if there was a mutation in the antártica fish, something in their genes would change. If that mutation has a positive effect on it, then that mutation would be passed down to the generations of fish, helping that fish with its survival or something
