Answer:

The correct answer would be nucleic acid or DNA.

It is an X-linked recessive disorder which is caused by a mutation in the gene present on X chromosome.

This mutated allele produced non-functional protein (clotting factor) due to which blood does not clot efficiently.

Consequently, the blood flows for longer time than normal.

Hemophilia is caused by a defect in the genes responsible for the formation of blood clotting factors viii and ix. These genes are located on the X chromosome. A female has two X chromosomes and a male has an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Therefore, all the daughters of a hemophiliac father will be the carriers of this disease, and half of his sons acquiring the X chromosome from the father will have the disease.

A population of skunks lives in a woodland habitat. The skunks are unable to leave because of a large mountain. Describe two rea
ohaa [14]

Some of the conditions that must be met for a population or an allele to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium are:

1. The population must be very large.

2. There must be no migration and population must be isolated.

3. There must be no mutations.

4. There must be random mating, which means there are no mating preferences.


So, a population will not be at Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium if it is small, or there are mutations, which is not mentioned, but mutations are expected to occur. Also, although there is a large mountain, skunks can migrate to some other area of a woodland. So, probable mutations and migrations suggest that the population is not at <span>Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium.</span>
