Answer:
•The gene responsible for the albinism is sex-linked
•The gene responsible for the albinism is recessive
• The pedigree is contained in the attached file
Explanation:
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is said to be sex-linked because all those that were mentioned with the expression of albinism were females
The gene responsible for the trait of albinism is also said to be recessive because it was found to be rarely expressed and this goes in line with the definition of a recessive gene, which says; a recessive gene is the gene that remains unexpressed ( phenotypically) in the presence of it counterpart ( the dominant gene) in an allelic pair.
Answer:
d. Monosomy X is the only viable monosomy known to occur in humans.
Explanation:
Human have 22 pair of homologous chromosomoses and an extra pair of sex chromosomes. While in males the sex chromosomes are X and Y , females have two chromosomes X . Anyway, in normal conditions the total number of chromosomomes that humans have in their cells is 46 (23 pair of chromosomes).
Aneuploidy is a biological condition where an individual have an abnormal number of chromosomes in their cells. In humans for examples, this would be a human having more or less than 46 chromosomes.
The Turner syndrome also called monosomy X is an aneuploidy where one of the X chromosomes is missing in a female. Although under constant supervision, people with Turner syndrome have viable healthy lives. However this is the only monosomy that occur in humans that is compatible with life.
