One type of colorblindness is a recessive, sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome. If a colorblind woman and a man

For this scenario, I'll use V for vision to describe the alleles. The cross would be (Xv Xv) x (XV y) giving a 50% of each gender. The way you asked the question is asking for the probability of the child being colorblind given it is a boy, and the answer is 100% because in each case a son would inherit the y from the father, and then a recessive Xv colorblind allele from the mom. In you want the probability of the child being colorblind and a boy out of the total possibilities it is 50% because all the sons will be colorblind.

One reason native plants are declining is that the invasive plants absorb nitrogen from the soil about twice as fast (α = 2). Ho
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

α = 0 if β= 0

Explanation:

If both species want to persist in the same environment and their niches are also over lapping then both of the co-efficient values should be equal. There are two possibilities on these values for persistence. One is that one should compromise to the change produced by the invasive specie and two is that the new specie should compromise if he wants to stay (<em><u>Assuming that there is no competition</u></em>). In this way their niches won't overlap to a greater extent and therefore better chances of survival for both.

Climate warming trends allow plant and insect species to inhabit larger ranges. True or false?
attashe74 [19]

The right answer is True.

At the global level, climate change will contribute to the disruption of the Earth's natural ecosystems, which could lead to the extinction of wild animal species and plants. It is mainly the impact of climate change on habitat and ecosystems that will dictate the impacts on biodiversity (by expanding them or the opposite).

Climate change will profoundly affect agricultural and forestry production. The effects in terms of production potential will be very variable depending on the regions and plant cover. They can result in an overall tendency for moderate stimulation in temperate climates and for limited warming at 2 ° -3 ° C.

Which of the following plants would you expect to grow lowest to the ground?
4vir4ik [10]
Among the listed plants above, the one that we can expect to grow lowest to the ground would be the hornworts. Hornworts are non-vascular plants which can be found both on water and land. Since these plants do not have a vascular system, it is hard for them to move water internally due to the force of gravity which explains why they cannot grow more above the ground.
