Answer:

Gene is present on the X chromosome.

Explanation:

The two main types of chromosomes are autosomes and sex chromosomes. Autosomes regulates the functioning of the body but do not play role in determining the sex of an individual. The sex chromosomes distinguishes between the male and female.

The linkage of sex chromosomes is present in Drosophila as well. The cross between the F1 generation leads to both the red and white eyed flies because the eye color gene is present on the X chromosome. The males contain only one X chromosome and the presence of recessive gene results in the white color whereas in females both the X chromosomes must contain recessive gene for the white color.  

Thus, the answer is gene involved is on the X chromosome.

How are simple carbohydrates able to form larger macromolecules
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Carbohydrates can be described as biological molecules which are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

Simple carbohydrates are known as monosaccharides. Example of monosaccharide includes glucose and fructose. Two molecules of monosaccharides can join to form disaccharides. Example of disaccharide includes maltose. When three or more monosaccharides join they form polymers known as polysaccharides. In this way, simple carbohydrates form larger molecules or polysaccharides. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, cellulose etc.
