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

who is not colorblind had children, what chance would there be that their son would be colorblind?

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.

Rotenone, a toxic compound isolated from plants, strongly inhibits the transfer of electrons from iron-sulfur centers in Complex
Darya [45]

Answer:

(A) It prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time.

(B) It also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, these is alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered.

(C) Rotenone only prevent electron transfer into the chain at Complex 1  but it does not affect electron transfer at Complex II. Although there is slow ETC, it does not stop completely. However, Antimycin A prevents the oxidation of QH2, the final electron acceptor crom complex I and complex II. Thereby, stopping the production of both ETC and ATP. It can be concluded that antimycin A is a more potent poison.

Explanation:

Rotenone prevents electron flow from the iron-sulfur centers in complex 1 to the ubiquinone. Due to a reduction in electron transfer rate, there is a decrease in the production of ATP which is dangerous for some insects and fish over time. Antimycin A also prevents electron flow from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1 at the complex III which leads to QH2 accumulation. If oxidized Q is not present, there is an alteration of electron flow and the production of ATP is altered. Antimycin A is more potent than rotenone.

The forelimbs of bats and humans have a very similar bone structure even though they appear very different on the outside
Vaselesa [24]

The forelimbs of all mammals are homologous traits, meaning that they originate from a common ancestral trait.

The correct answer is therefore C. Homologies (homologous traits), from the same common ancestor.

(To clarify, we know it is from a common ancestor because both bats and humans are mammals)
