Because the chromosome linked with sex are XX for women and XY for men. So the boy can only get Y from his father and X from his mother. While girl can get one from the only X of her father and the other from her mother.

Answer:

Genes present on the X chromosome are X-linked. These genes have different inheritance patterns because they have different numbers in males (XY) and females (XX).

X-linked genetic diseases are much common in males than in females due to the unique X-linked inheritance pattern.

A human male has two different sex chromosomes, the X and the Y. The X and Y don’t have the same genes and aren’t homologous.

Because sex chromosomes don’t come in homologous pairs always, the genes they show unique, different patterns of inheritance.

Hence, they are different in numbers in male and female lead them a different type of inheritance than others.

Primate cognition:

It is the study of the intellectual and behavioral skills of non-human primates, particularly in the fields of psychology, behavioral biology, primatology, and anthropology.

In the studies of primate cognition and tool use, researchers have taught chimpanzees to crack open nuts with stones. Later in life, these chimpanzees have taught other young chimpanzees and offspring the same skill. This could be considered: <u>social transmission of learned behavior.</u>

In which types of situations is the smallest unit rate the most desirable?
vekshin1

You should use the smallest unit rate any time accuracy is needed.  For example, if you are administering dosages of vaccines, you should use the smallest syringe possible for the dosage.  A smaller syringe will have more precise graduations than a larger one.  The same holds true for glassware such as graduated cylinders.  A 1000 ml graduated cylinder will probably not have a 5 ml graduation on it, and measuring out 5 ml with a cylinder that large would be guesswork at best.  A 10 ml graduated cylinder, however, will have graduations for every 0.1 ml, and would be suitable for measuring small amounts of liquids.
