The genes for sex-linked traits are carried on either the X or Y chromosome. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a recessive, s

ex-linked disease that is carried on the X chromosome. A woman with DMD and a man without the disease have a child. Which statement best describes the likelihood of the disease passing to their child?
a. There is a 100 percent chance that their daughter will have the disease.
b. There is a 50 percent chance that their son will have the disease.
c. There is a 50 percent chance that their daughter will have the disease.

There is a 50% probability that the child will be a boy. If this is the case, he will inherit the X chromosome from his mother and the Y chromosome from his father. Since the woman has DMD, the boy will certainly inherit the disease, since he only has one X chromosome and it carries the disease. We know that both of the mother's X chromosomes carry the disease because since it is recessive, both of her chromosomes must have it in order for her to have it. 

There is also a 50% probability that the child is girl. If this is the case, she will inherit a normal X chromosome from her father and the disease-carrying X chromosome from her mother. Since the disease is recessive, she will not be affected by the disease, since she has one healthy X chromosome and one disease-carrying one. 

If the child is a girl, there is a 0% chance that she will have the disease (although she will be a carrier). 

If the child is a boy, there is a 100% chance that he will inherit the disease. 

The answer is D)

How do you think that Karl von
sergey [27]

Answer:

Karl von Frisch is best known for two major discoveries about honey bees. First, he demonstrated that honey bees have color vision, and published these findings in 191*. Second, in 193* he showed that honey bees use a dance language to communicate food locations to other bees.

Explanation:

Figure 1. Grids for the color vision test. The training color, marked with T, is blue in both cases; all other squares are shades of gray. The left box shows how the grid appears to an animal with color vision. The right box shows how the same grid may appear to an animal without color vision. The training square appears to be the same shade of gray as other squares in the grid. If the test animal cannot see in color, it will confuse the training square with other squares matching its shade of gray.

This clever test for color vision can be applied to any animal which can learn to recognize a feeding station using visual patterns.

The dance language

von Frisch observed that once one honey bee finds a feeding station, many other soon appear at the same station. This suggests that the first bee recruits other bees to the food. How might honey bees recruit help in collecting food? von Frisch¹s discovery of the dance language of the honey bee required careful determination of the correlations between movements of bees inside the hive and the locations of feeding stations. He found two types of dance. The round dance (Figure 2A) causes bees to look for food a short distance (up to about 50 meters) from the hive. The waggle dance (Figure 2B) tells bees the direction and distance to fly to find more distant food sources. Scout bees use these dances to recruit assistance in collecting food resources.

Which of the following is a symbiotic association between a fungus and an alga in which both partners benefit?
Butoxors [25]
Mutualism, The question is asking us to choose the correct symbiotic relationship. There are THREE types of Symbiosis. SYMBIOSIS is a relationship between two organisms. I'll give you a quick run-through of each one. 1. MUTUALISM is where both organisms benefit, from one another. 2. COMMENSALISM is where one organism benefits, and the other is totally unaffected. 3. PARASITISM is where one organism benefits, while the other is harmed.
