How Can Sex-Linked Traits Be Identified

Biology
1 answer:
kkurt [141]3 years ago
5 0

If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.). The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

Red-green colorblindness

Male Pattern Baldness

Hemophilia

Explain the statement “Nutrients do not flow in one direction in the ecosystem, they recycle through the ecosystem.”

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon travels from the atmosphere into organisms and the Earth and then back into the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from the air and use it to make food. Animals then eat the food and carbon<span> is stored in their bodies or released as CO2 through respiration.

How are the equations for photosynthesis and cellular respiration related?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The equation of the photosynthesis becomes reverse in the cellular respiration. In both process the reactants and products are altered.

Photosynthesis is the light harvesting process. Here the plants use water, carbon dioxide, light as raw material to produce glucose, energy and oxygen. This process occurs in the chloroplast of the leaves. In this reaction the products are oxygen and glucose.

In cellular respiration, the byproduct of photosynthesis i.e. glucose is oxidised to release energy and carbon dioxide, along with the ATP molecules. This reaction is the reverse reaction of the photosynthesis.

In cellular respiration the product of the photosynthesis becomes becomes reactant.  

The cellular respiration occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell and involves many steps to release energy. The various cellular respirations are glycolysis, kreb's cycle, electron transport chains, etc.
