Answer:
only females
Explanation:
In humans, sex chromosomes in males and females are different. The sex chromosomes found in humans are X and Y chromosomes. X-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the X- chromosome. According to the question, the trait is passed on a X-linked dominant condition, which means the condition is inherited on the abnormal dominant X-chromosome that will express itself even when in an heterozygous state with a normal X-chromosome.
Hence, a father affected by the condition will have a genotype; XY while a mother that does not have the condition will have a genotype: xx (two normal x chromosomes). Since the Father can only pass his X chromosome to his daughters and never his sons, all his daughters will inherit the condition (see the punnet square in attached image).
N.B: None of the sons will inherit the condition since the mother will pass normal X-chromosomes (x) to her sons.
Answer:
The glycemic index allows you to compare the ability of foods to increase blood sugar (glucose) levels. In general, simple carbohydrates have a medium to high glycemic index. In the case of complex carbohydrates, this varies.
Explanation:
The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure that provides information on how quickly blood sugar levels rise after eating a certain food. Low glycemic index foods are those that have a low content of sugars or simple carbohydrates and that help regulate blood glucose levels, the consumption of foods with a low glycemic index has been proposed as a prevention and / or management factor of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus and some types of cancer. Complex carbohydrates are made up of larger, more complex molecules and are found primarily in the form of starch and fiber. Foods high in fat or fiber are digested more slowly, so they also cause a slower rise in blood sugar. A food with a high GI raises blood sugar faster than foods with a medium or low GI. The GI is higher when foods do not contain fiber and they are easily digested, since they reach the bloodstream quickly, it is also higher if there is sugar or if cooking destroys part of the fiber and favors the digestion of food.
Answer:
D. A hurricane carries ocean water across the coast and damages houses of people.
Explanation:
This question is looking for a statement that shows the interaction of an atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Firstly, atmosphere refers to the layer of the air that surrounds the earth i.e it pertains to air. Hydrosphere refers to the part of the earth occupied by water bodies e.g sea, river, ocean etc. i.e. it pertains to water.
Biosphere is the part of the earth that has to do with life i.e. it pertains to living organisms e.g plant, animal, human etc.
Based on the definition of each component, option D truly shows the relationship/interaction of the three components mentioned. That is, A hurricane (represent part of the atmosphere because it has to do with air) carries ocean water (represents hydrosphere because it involves water body) across the coast and damages houses of people (represents biosphere because it talks about living humans).
