Answer:

Glycogen is produced by animals while starch is produced by green plants

Explanation:

Following are the differences between starch and glycogen-

1. The structure of starch is larger as compared to that of glycogen. Glycogens has one molecule while starch has two molecules of glucose

2. Glycogen is produced by animals in their liver, muscles, brain, uterus etc. therefore it is also known as animal starch while starch is produced by green plants.

3. Glycogen has only branched structure while starch has both branched and chain structure.

<span>Correct, starch is found in plants and glycogen in animals. BUT, glycogen is found in all animal cells, not just muscle cells. Glycogen is present in the highest amounts in both muscle and liver cells, where it appears as large granules</span>

alisha [4.7K]

Answer: The cross will produce 4 offsprings with the following genotypes:

XhXh, XhX, XhY and XY.

Explanation: Hemophilia is an X-linked disease. A woman who carries the hemophilia gene but doesn't not express it is heterozygous, therefore she has a genotype of XhX, and a man who has hemophilia has a genotype of XhY. A cross between them will produce one female and one male who are hemophilic (XhXh and XhY), one female who is a carrier (XhX) and one normal male.
