Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
Answer:
The main purpose of the circulatory system is to transport blood, oxygen, nutrients and hormones to and from different cells and tissues throughout the body.
Explanation:
This system works hand-in-hand with the respiratory system to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide within the blood per the alveoli in the lungs.

The right answer is Haploid cells join to form an organism that has a complete set of chromosomes.
Meiosis makes it possible to pass from a cell to 2n chromosomes to 4 cells with n chromosomes, thus ensuring the passage from the diploid phase to the haploid phase.
So from the fertilization phase to the meiosis phase, the cells will be diploid (2n chromosomes). From the meiosis phase to the fertilization phase, it is the haploid phase (n chromosome).
