Answer:
D) males are hemizygous for the X chromosome
Explanation:
Both males and females have two sex chromosomes, but females have two X chromosomes and males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. When only one copy of a gene is present in the cell of a diploid individual, that gene is in hemizygous condition.
- A female can be heterozygous for a sex-linked trait, one X chromosome carrying a dominant allele and the other X chromosome carrying the recessive allele. In that case, the expression of recessive allele will be masked by the expression of the dominant allele.
- Males, however, only have one X chromosome, so any allele it carries will be expressed, regardless of its dominance. For that reason, the frequency of appearance of sex-linked traits will be higher in males than in females.
Answer:
A) tortoiseshell female; black male
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:
- XᵒXᵒ: black female
- XᵒY: black male
- XᴼXᴼ: orange female
- XᴼY: orange male
- XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female
<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>
<h3>XᵒXᵒ x XᴼY</h3>
The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.
The possible offspring therefore is: XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.
Cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
Answer:
Both A and B
Explanation:
True breed is a breed that is 100% identical with the parent, the traits inherited from that parents are 100% controlled by same allele of a gene hence they are exact copy.
A single gene can have several alleles, it is the allele that combines together that determines what is seen or expressed.
Allele for blue colour is dominant over allele for red color and that is what led to the phenotypic appearance of the offspring which is blue and the red color is masked. Also, because they are true breeds it means the genotype have the same allele e.g. AA
The situation that a new technology would be most likely to cause change in existing theory about cell is : D. The technology allows detection of a substance that could not be detected previously
Cell is incredibly small and we still hasn't 100% figured out their perfect mechanism yet. New technology might found the new substance that alter the cell's theory as a whole
hope this helps
