<span>The speed of sound fluctuates with changes in depth that go with regular changes in salinity, temperature and pressure in the ocean. They may both form a coat of shadow, layers of reflection when the waves are propagated. The greater the temperature of the water, the faster the sound travels for narrower depths. But deeper into the ocean, pressure dominates. The thermocline where the change of temperature is greatly observed, shows a decrease in sound speed with decreasing temperature. The region somewhere in the thermocline where the sound speed is at minimum and allows the transmission of low frequency sound at great distances is called SOFAR or sound fixing and ranging channel. SOFAR channels is greatly affected with depth and thickness.</span>

Water stratification is a phenomenon in which regions of water with different properties, such as salinity, oxygen content, density and temperature, form barriers to mixing of the water.

These barriers also create channels, referred to as sound fixing and ranging (SOFAR) channels. In these channels, the sound has a specified path. It travels slower than normal, but due to reduced dissipation to the surroundings, the sound travels for larger distances.

Suppose you examined a pedigree of a large family, going back 6 generations. In generation 5, a woman ("G5W") has a serious gene
Westkost [7]

B: A mutation in one of G5W's parents, during gamete formation, created an X-linked dominant disease allele.

You need to analyze the sex gametes.

Boys are XY

Girls are XX

If you have an X-linked dominant disease you need only one affected X gamete to have the disease.

The mother has XX' where X' is de affected and reproduce with a healthy man XY and breed unhealthy boys, but because of the heterozygous gametes you could also have healthy ones XX and XY
