:  <span><span> Sex linkage is the phenotypic expression of an allele that is related to the chromosomal sex of the individual. This mode of inheritance is in contrast to the inheritance of traits on autosomal chromosomes, where both sexes have the same probability of expressing the trait. Since, in humans, there are many more genes on the X than there are on the Y, there are many more X-linked traits than there are Y-linked traits.

</span><span> In mammals, the female is the homogametic sex, having two X chromosomes (XX), while the male is heterogametic, having one X and one Y chromosome (XY). Genes that are present on the X or Y chromosome are called sex linked genes.


Autosomal: Pertaining to a chromosome that is not a sex chromosome; relating to any one of the chromosomes save the sex chromosomes.

People normally have 22 pairs of autosomes (44 autosomes) in each cell together with two sex chromosomes (X and Y in the male and XX in the female). </span></span>

Which of the following is the best explanation of the physiological reaction to the length of daylight hours often referred to a
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A. Plants will only flower during long day periods when the day length exceeds their necessary photoperiod

Explanation:

Photoperiodism is a phenomenon that refers to the response of an organism to the length of day. This phenomenon causes a physiological change in the organisms involved (plants or animals). However, the best studied example of change caused by photoperiodism is that of FLOWERING IN PLANTS.

Different plants flower at different times in response to the day length. Certain plants called LONG DAY PLANTS e.g. spinach and potato etc only flower when the length of day exceeds their photoperiod (threshold), which is usually 12 hours. These plants require very short periods of darkness to flower.

Hence, according to the question, FLOWERING response in plants is the best explanation to describe photoperiodism.

What is the best biological definition of species
Alenkinab [10]
A group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. The species is the fundamental category of taxonomic classification, ranking below a genus or subgenus. Species names are represented in binomial nomenclature by an uncapitalized Latin adjective or noun following a capitalized genus name, as in Ananas comosus, the pineapple, and Equus caballus, the horse.
2. Logic A class of individuals or objects grouped by virtue of their common attributes and assigned a common name; a division subordinate to a genus.
3. Chemistry A set of atoms, molecules, ions, or other chemical entities that possess the same distinct characteristics with respect to a chemical process or measurement.
