A sex-linked trait is a trait that is carried by the X chromosomes in females but it is not expressed(the phenotype). Females are only carriers because they have two copies of the X chromosome [one of them carries the trait and the other does not]. Males who inherit one copy of the X chromosome often get the trait (because the trait is in either one copy or the other of the X chromosome) and express it while their Y chromosome would became recessive. Thus, only males express sex-linked traits such as hemophilia or color blindness

Sever21 [200]
I believe the answer for the above question is exhaustion stage.
Hans selye, described three predictable stages the body uses to respond to stressors, called general adaptation syndrome (GAS). The first stage is alarm stage, which provides burst energy, then the resistance stage where the body attempts to resist or adapt to the stressor, and finally the exhaustion stage. During the resistance stage, the body uses its resources of flight off the stressor. It is not until the next stage, exhaustion, that bodily resources are so depleted that stress-related diseases can develop.

Mountains formed by two colliding continents often contain marine _______ rock
stealth61 [152]
<span>The correct answer is Marine Sedimentary Rock. This means that when they collide, usually mountains come from out of the sea and move vertically up. This means that sedimentary marine rocks eventually become non-marine rocks since they're not in the sea anymore so they can be found on such mountains.</span><span />
