<em>50% of the sons have the disorder. </em>

<em />

When this couple has children, one half of their sons will have the disorder. When a male has an X-linked, recessive disorder, his genome will be YXₙ, where Xₙ represents his affected X-chromosome. Since boys can only have one X-chromosome, they cannot be carriers. Having one affected X-chromosome makes them have the condition. His wife, who is not a carrier and does not have the condition will have the genome XX. As you can see in the punnet square, this cross will lead to two sons, one of which has the color-blindness gene. So, 50% of the sons will have the disorder.

Which of the following are NOT correct based on Darwin's theory of evolution?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

D variations in individuals are not heritable

Explanation:

Genetic variation in individuals is what drives evolution. In a population of individuals in an environment, with the adequate resources, overpopulation can occur. However, resources are usually a limiting factor for population growth: there is not sufficient food/shelter etc. for everyone to survive.

Some individuals are better suited to success in the environment. This is because of random variation in their DNA that has arisen that give them a selective advantage. This allows them to thrive, take advantage of the limited resources over other members of the population, and be more likely to survive to reproductive age. This is natural selection.

Because this variation is genetic (in the DNA), they can then pass it on to their offspring. Over time, this leads to evolution over time.

mafiozo [28]

The separation of the sister chromatids during the cell division occurs in the anaphase in mitosis and anaphase II in meiosis.

During the anaphase in mitosis, and the anaphase II of the meiosis, the chromosomes aligned at the center of the nucleus separates and the sister chromatids of the chromosomes starts moving towards the opposite poles as the spindle fibers starts contracting.
