Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
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.

c. cell wall, vacuole
Among the choices above, the two features that indicate that a cell is a plant cell is the cell wall and vacuole. The cell wall can only be found in plant cells. It is the rigid cell that surrounds the cell membrane. The vacuole of a plant cell and animal cell are way too different. The vacuole of an animal cell is usually more than one and small, even smaller that that of the plant cell. On the other hand, the vacuole of the plant cell is only one in fact a large one that takes up almost 90 percent of the volume of the cell
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
The law of independent assortment
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The Principle of Independent Assortment illustrates how different genes individually separate from one another when reproductive cells receive.
- Independent assortment of genes and their similar traits was first mentioned by Gregor Mendel in 1865 during his studies of genetics in pea plants.
- When two or more characters are acquired, individual hereditary factors classify independently during gamete production, giving distinct traits an equal opportunity of befalling together.
