<em>A. Y-linked.</em>

Explanation:

Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

If the father is affected by a genetic disorder, that means it will be passed down to only sons in the family, not females, since females do not have a Y chromosome.

This would mean the genetic disorder is Y-linked, and only on the Y chromosome, which is specific to males.

Answer:

A. Y-linked

Explanation:

Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome.

Females have two X chromosomes.

Father is affected by a genetic disorder. The son has the same disease. The daughters are not affected because they do not have Y chromosomes.

The father and son have Y chromosomes, so the type of inheritance is Y-linked.

What cycles on earth does Solar radiation fuel?
vodka [1.7K]

Clouds, atmospheric aerosols, snow, ice, sand, ocean surface and even rooftops play a role in deflecting the incoming rays. The remaining 70 percent of solar energy is absorbed by land, ocean, and atmosphere. "Greenhouse gases block about 40 percent of outgoing thermal radiation that emanates from Earth," Woods said.

A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of one type of colorblindness (denoted by Xc). Let the genotype for no
Alex73 [517]

The scenario will be Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son

<h3>What is color blindness?</h3>

The condition is frequently inherited. Certain eye diseases and medications are also possible causes. Men are more affected than women.

Color blindness is characterized by the inability to distinguish between red and green shades.

A colorblind man's genotype is XcY, and a heterozygous carrier female's genotype is XcX. A cross between XcY and XcX would result in progeny with the following ratio=

Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Thus, the couple is likely to have a son who is half normal and half affected. Similarly, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.

A. Which form of nitrogen in the soil is NOT usable by organisms?
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

A)Fixation. Nitrogen in its gaseous form (N2) can't be used by most living things

B) it can not be used because it most be converted or, ’fixed’  to a more useable form. To do this it goes through a process called fixation.fixation is the change in a gene pool from a situation where there exists at least two variants of a particular gene (allele) in a given population to a situation where only one of the alleles remains.

C) This form can be made more usable if it’s converted. It has to go through the process of fixation so the gene pool changes.
