In a cross between individuals of a species of tropical fish, all of the male offspring have long tail fins, and none of the fem

ales possess the trait. Mating two of the F1 fish fails to produce females with the trait. Explain the inheritance pattern of the trait.

Answer:

Sex linked trait

Explanation:

Sex linkage is the phenomenon in which the expression of genes depends on the gender of the organisms because genes for specific traits are located on the sex chromosomes of organisms. If repeated crosses of the fish indicate the pattern that long tail fins appear only in males and not in females, it means the trait is linked to the male sex.

What are sex chromosomes:

They are usually a pair of chromosomes present in higher organisms like humans and other mammals that combine during fertilization of male and female gametes and determine the sex of offspring. In humans they are X and Y chromosomes and when there is an XX offspring, she will e female and when there will be XY offspring , he will be male.

Significance:

  • Now there are some genes that are present only on sex chromosomes of the organisms like genes for beard are present in human Y chromosome of men, However,genes found on the X chromosome can be found in either males or females.
  • Sex linked genetic disorders are very common in human males because males receive only one copy of X chromosome while females receive two copies. So only one copy of defective gene is enough for the expression of disease in males while in women  two copies are needed if the trait is recessive.
  • For example: There is a disease called hemophilia in which the blood is unable to clot even after minor injuries and can be life threatening.
  • Hemophilia is an X linked recessive disorder and is an example of sex linked traits controlled by sex linked genes.

Hope it helps!

For taking bath, water at 40⁰C is required. Calculate the mass of cold water at 15⁰C which is to be added in 60 Kg water at 100⁰
MrRa [10]

Answer:

Energy added to cold water, E1

E1 = m•Cp•ΔT = 6 x 4.187x(42-20) = 6x4.187x22

Energy lost by hot water, E2:

E2 = X(CpΔT) = X x 4.187 x (75-42) =X x 4.187 x 33

So, since E1 = E2

6x4.187x22 = X x 4.187 x 33

X = 6x22/33 = 4.0kg

So the mass of the hot water added to the 6kg of cold water is 4.0kg

Sever21 [200]
<span>1 black: 1 orange The heterozygous black-eyed MendAlien has the genotype Bb. The orange-eyed MendAlien has the genotype bb. The result of this cross is two Bb offspring and two bb offspring. This means that two of the offspring have black eyes and two of the offspring have orange eyes. This 2:2 ratio then reduces to 1:1</span>
