Answer:
50% or 1/2. The result remains unchanged if the husband were to have G6PD.
Explanation:
For X-linked recessive inheritance, a female (XX) needs two recessive alleles to be affected while a male needs only one (XY). It is hypothetically assumed that the Y chromosome does not carry any trait.
Assuming the allele for the disease is represented by g, a woman whose father suffered from G6PD is a carrier for the disease with genotype 
. A normal man will have the genotype 
. When the 2 marries:
x = 
It thus means that 50% or 1/2 of their sons will be expected to have G6PD.
Now, assuming the husband has G6PD, the mating becomes:
x 
= 
50% or 1/2 of their sons is still expected to have G6PD. The ratio remains unchanged.

Answer:
d
Explanation:
When considering the frequency of the potential alleles of a gene in a population, the total must add up to 1. Think of it like percentages. an allele frequency of 0.3 means 30% of the population carry it (out of a possible 100%).
We know that the frequency of c1 is 0.3. Lets take each option and see if it can be true
a) cannot be less than 0.3. - false. It <em>could </em>be less than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.1, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would be 0.6 (because 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.6 = 1)
b) cannot be greater than 0.3. - false. It <em>could </em>be greater than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.5, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would have to be 0.2 (because 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 1)
c) is 0.7. - false. It <em>can't </em>be 0.7, because that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)
d) cannot be greater than 0.7. - true. It <em>cannot </em>be greater than 0.7, because that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)
The proportion of mottled fish will
increase over time because of the construction company that dumps a load of
gravel in the bottom of the lake which give it a mottled appearance that made
the mottled fish invisible by their major predator which is the wading bird that hunts them
by sight.
