Animals combine oxygen chemically with hydrogen atoms that they remove from their food—that is, from organic materials such as sugar, protein, and amino acids. Animals release water as a waste product from the oxygen respiration. Animals, like all heterotrophs, use organic materials as their sole source of carbon. - (www.britannica.com)

The thermonuclear fusión that occurs in the sun Is a process involving What?

pentagon [3]

In nuclear physics, nuclear fusion is a nuclear reaction in which two or more atomic nuclei come very close and then collide at a very high speed and join to form a new nucleus. During this process, matter is not conserved because some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to photons (energy).

What we already know:

All species under normal circumstances will have two sex chromosomes. X and Y, Y is known to be dominant. All females will have two X chromosomes (XX, one X will always be given by the mother), whereas males will have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome (XY, one X will always be given by the mother. The father, on the other hand, could give either an X or a Y, that all depends on what sex chromosome the father's sperm donated.)

So, how many chromosomes do a typical human have? Correct, a typical human has 32 chromosomes and only 2 of them are sex chromosomes. Now we must understand that the sex chromosome carries more than just the one code for the individual sex. That means that the gene codes for more than just the sex.

Building on that knowledge:

Sex-Related Inheritance that differs from sex, is carried on one or two of an individual's sex chromosome. Whereas Non-Sex-Related Inheritance is carried on the other thirty chromosomes that the individual also carries.

Sex-Related inherited genes that are passed via the father to male offsprings, carried on the Y chromosome, are easiest to spot in a family. All males will have this trait and no females will.

Non-sex-related inheritance can be passed from male to female and from female to male, this is sometimes harder to differentiate from genes carried on the X chromosome because the mother always gives an X chromosome.

Vocabulary:

phenotype: the set of observable characteristics of an individual resulting from the interaction of its genotype with the environment.
