Answer:

Only the daughters will be carriers and the probability is 1 or 100%

Explanation:

Homozygous dominant female = X^{G} X^{G}

Affected male = X^{G}Y

X^{G} X^{G}   x   X^{G}Y

Offspring = X^{G}X^{g} (female), X^{G}X^{g} (females), X^{G}Y (male), X^{G}Y (male)

<em>For X-linked traits, male gender can either be affected or not affected, they cannot be carriers because the Y chromosome is hypothesized to not carry any gene. Since the two X chromosomes in female carry genes, they can be carriers for X-linked traits.</em>

Considering the female children only, the probability is 1 or 100%.

Answer:

1.   As the cell size increases, the ratio of surface area to volume DECREASES

2.   It depends on the unit of the ratio 6:1. If it is in cm−1, then it means that it is similar to a cell of size 1 cm^3,  which is normally too big to get materials from the surface .

3.  A Small cell has a large surface area/volume ratio and therefore can exchange molecules with it's external environment rapidly. So, Here cell with ratio 6:1 is smaller and have ability to better transportation across it's membrane as compared to other cell with ratio 3:1
