Answer:
<em>The statement which is not true is C) They can affect males or females</em>
Explanation:
All the chromosomes in a person are known to be autosomal chromosomes except for the sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are of two types: Chromosome X and chromosome Y.
Both the sex chromosomes are X in females. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosome. The Y chromosomes occur only in males. Hence, Y- linked disorders will affect only males. These disorders will never occur in females.
The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.
Native Americans and Type O Blood
Modern Native Americans have very high frequencies of Type O blood.
In some places in North and South America, the frequency is as high as 100%. Anthropologists believe that early Native Americans arrived in North America by crossing over the Bering Land Bridge around 15,000 years ago, from East Asia.
Modern East Asian populations, with whom modern Native Americans share ancestry, do not have high frequencies of Type O blood. Instead, they have some of the lowest frequencies of Type O blood in the world.
B. Sickle-Cell Anemia
As many as 20-30% of people living in equatorial Africa have at least one allele on Chromosome 11 that codes for sickle-cell anemia (they have an, "S" rather than an, "A" allele). This is odd because usually, 80% of people who have two S alleles die before they can reproduce,
For each of the following cases:
1. What forces of evolution are at work? State all that apply.
Mutation

Genetic Drift
Gene Flow.

"Dissolved oxygen in seawater is used as an indicator of primary production (as its surrogate, so to speak) because the amount of molecular oxygen produced during photosynthesis is directly proportional to the amount of carbon fixed during photosynthesis, and determining the amount of dissolved oxygen is much easier to do."
These are called autosomal cells. I hope this helps
