Answer:
Because it contains two different sex chromosomes
Explanation:
Man in its genome contains two sex chromosomes, X and Y, while woman contains two X chromosomes.
In order to be a carrier of a sex-linked trait, a person should have one copy (one allele) of a certain trait. For example, if a female has one X chromosome with mutation (e.g. disease carrying) and one normal X chromosome, she is carrier for the disease. But, on the other hand if a male has one X chromosome with mutation he will develop that disease.
The vegetation of the tundra is composed of shrubs, grasses, mosses, lichens. Tree vegetation is very rare because of low temperature and short growing season.
Answer:
C. His mother carried at least one allele for that trait
Explanation:
-Men have a single allele of each gene on the X chromosome, inherited from their mother, and a single allele of each gene on the Y chromosome, from their father.
-A sex-linked trait is a trait that is controlled by a gene or an allele located on the sex chromosome.
-X-linked traits are maternally inherited from carrier mothers or from an affected father. Each son born to a carrier mother has a 50% probability of inheriting the X-chromosome carrying the mutant allele.
