The extra X chromosome is received from mother.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Klinefelter's syndrome is the condition of chromosomal aberration where the person has an extra X chromosome. This means the genotype of the person is 44+XXY and the total chromosome number is 47. This condition is achieved due to inappropriate meiotic division and one of the sperm or ovum has the an extra X chromosome.

Here both the parents are normal in terms of colour vision. So the father cannot have the gene of colour blindness because if it was present, then father would have been colour blind because he has only one X chromosome per cell. So its present in mother who is heterozygous in terms of colour blind gene. So the extra X chromosome also came from her which made the presence of two defective X chromosomes in the offspring and made it colour blind.

Explain how plants and algae use sunlight. How is this process important to other living things in an ecosystem?
ludmilkaskok [199]
They use it to convert into C6H12O6 ( glucose) through photosynthesis. Then other living things consume the plant/ algae and use it to go through cellular respiration and make ATP. The energy travels up the food chain as other animals eat the herbivore/omnivore.
