<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.

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form
BigorU [14]
The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then <span>strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)
