What is one difference between tracing the inheritance of autosomal traits and tracing the inheritance of sex-linked traits?

Biology

:  <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>

1. The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because (1 point)
mariarad [96]

1. Answer;

A. energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.

Explanation;

-The movements of energy and nutrients through living systems are different because the energy flows in one direction and nutrients recycle.

-Energy is transferred between organisms in one direction in a food chain, but that interconnected food chains make a food web.

-Most ecosystems get their energy from the Sun. Producers can use sunlight to make usable energy by converting it into chemical energy or food. Consumers get some of that energy when they eat producers, they pass some of the energy to other consumers when they are fed on.

2. Answer;

Nitrogen fixation.

Nitrogen fixation depends on bacteria.

Explanation;

Nitrogen fixation is the process by which nitrogen is taken from its stable gas form (N2) in air and then converted into other nitrogen compounds (such as ammonia, nitrate and nitrogen dioxide) useful for other chemical processes.

-The nitrogen fixing bacteria are microorganism capable of converting atmospheric nitrogen into forms usable by plants. They include the free-living bacteria, which includes cyanobacteria, azotobacter etc. and others such as mutualistic bacteria such as Rhizobium.

Euglena use which structure for movement? A. cilia B. flagella C. pseudopods D. they do not move
Harman [31]
The answer is B, a euglena uses a flagella in order to move. Euglena is a one celled organism under the Kingdom Protista. A flagella (or flagellum plural) is a long strand like structure that is located in the front end part (more like a tail in front). It flips to the left and right in order for the organism to move. It is connected to the reservoir, which contains the storage of food for the organism.
