Biology

Alborosie3 years ago
6 0

Genotype of Mother: XX°

Genotype of Father: XY

Explanation:

  • Since the Red-green colour blindness is a recessive trait , it will not be visible in a heterozygous female because dominant allele will mask the recessive allele.
  • Father has only one X chromosome, thus if the trait was present in  that X chromosome he must have shown the trait because all the alleles in Y chromosome are recessive.
  • Since the son has inherited the trait it is obvious that he had recieved the trait from his mother who must have been the carrier.

Outline the process of the Carbon Cycle.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Carbon Cycle Definition

Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.

Carbon Cycle Steps

Following are the major steps involved in the process of the carbon cycle:

Carbon present in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.

These plants are then consumed by animals and carbon gets bioaccumulated into their bodies.

These animals and plants eventually die, and upon decomposing, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Some of the carbon that is not released back into the atmosphere eventually become fossil fuels.

These fossil fuels are then used for man-made activities, which pumps more carbon back into the atmosphere.

Hope it helps!!!

Are birds more closely related to mammals or to reptiles
Zepler [3.9K]
Mammals. I am no scientist, but I think that they are closer to mammals due to the fact that they are warm-blooded, and they raise their young. Reptiles are cold blooded and usually leave their offspring to fend for themselves.
