Answer:

25%

Explanation:

When looking at a pedigree remember that:

  • squares are males
  • circles are females
  • the solid colored figure represents an individual affected by a disease
  • the empty figure represents a healthy individual

Let us assign the symbol X⁺ to represent the dominant allele linked to the X-chromosome and expressing healthiness, and X⁻ to represent the recessive allele expressing the dissease.

According to this pedigree

  • I1 is a man affected by the disease, YX⁻
  • I2 is a healthy woman X⁺X⁻
  • we can see that among the progeny (generation II) there are two individuals affected (a boy and a girl) and one healthy girl. This means that the mother I2 is heterozygous for the trait.

So, having their genotypes we can know what are the probabilities of getting a son with DMD

Parentals)    YX⁻     x     X⁺X⁻  

Gametes)   Y     X⁻      X⁺     X⁻

Punnett square)

                        X⁺             X⁻

            X⁻      X⁺X⁻         X⁻X⁻    

            Y        X⁺Y           X⁻Y

F1)

  • The probabilities of getting a healthy daughter X⁺X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a healthy son X⁺Y are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a daughter with DMD X⁻X⁻ are 25%
  • The probabilities of getting a son with DMD X⁻Y are 25%

What is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction?
Doss [256]

A convincing explanation of why some lineages survived while others vanished is still lacking in the hypothesis of an asteroid impact as the cause of the end-cretaceous mass extinction.

<h3>What is an asteroid?</h3>

One of the smaller planets in the inner Solar System is an asteroid. Asteroids are metallic or rocky bodies without an atmosphere, ranging in size from 1-meter pebbles to a dwarf planet with a diameter of over 1000 km.

The majority of the one million or more known asteroids are concentrated in the main asteroid belt, which is 2 to 4 AU from the Sun and between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The three categories of asteroids that are typically recognized are C-type, M-type, and S-type.

These were given their names and are frequently associated with, respectively, carbonaceous, metallic, and silicaceous compositions. The largest asteroid, Ceres, has a diameter of over 1,000 km (600 mi), making it a dwarf planet.
