Answer: The correct answer is A) 100%.

Y linked disease is the one that is caused by genes present on the Y chromosomes. Females have XX and males have XY chromosomes that determine their gender. This means that Y chromosome is only present in males and all male offsprings inherit this chromosome from their father. Whereas, female offsprings inherit X chromosome ( from each parent).

As per the question, family has Y linked disease that affects father.

Thus, there will be 100% chances of inheriting this disease by the male offspring.

Remember that males have an x and y chromosome, while women have two x chromosomes. 

This means that a female offspring (daughter) inherits her father's only x chromosome and one of her mother's x chromosomes, while a male will receive his father's y chromosome and one of his mother's x chromosomes. 

This means that the boy will necessarily inherit his dad's Y chromosome, and any diseases that it carries. 

The chance of a male offspring inheriting the disease is 
A) 100%

Which out of two has stronger forces of attraction sugar or water very sort answer​
Marina CMI [18]

Sugar. It is solid and its atoms have less kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force. So, the bonding force is stronger than water, which is liquid and has more kinetic energy to overcome the bonding force of atoms. So, water has less strong force of attraction. Hence, sugar has stronger forces of attraction.
