Answer:

"Men have one X chromosome, from their mother, and one Y chromosome, from their father. Because of this, a man will pass his copy of the X chromosome—and the genes it contains—only to his daughters and his copy of the Y chromosome only to his sons. Women have two alleles of every gene on the X chromosome, one inherited from their father and one from their mother. Men have a single allele of each gene on the X chromosome, inherited from their mother, and a single allele of each gene on the Y chromosome, from their father."

Answer:

The child inherited features through DNA from both parents is the correct answers.

Explanation:

It is necessary to remember that the child receives the chromosomes from his parents: the mother gives him one X chromosome while the father gives the child an X chromosome. Due to this, the child receives characteristics from both of them, which result in the blue eyes and the curly hair.

Select the relevant adaptation exhibited by plants in their transition to land from an aquatic lifestyle.

Ainat [17]

Answer:

b, d, and f

Explanation:

The transition from aquatic lifestyle to land posses some problems to plants; these include;

Water conduction and food distribution problem
Desiccation problem

In order to firmly establish in the terrestrial environment, plants need to be able to obtain the water necessary for their metabolic activities and be able to distribute manufactured food from the various sources of production to other parts of the plant body. This is overcome by the development of conducting tissues in the form of phloem and xylem. The xylem is used to conduct water from the root to the body of the plant while the phloem is a tissue used to conduct manufactured food from the point of manufacturing round the necessary parts of the plant.

Plants also face the problem of heat and the risk of desiccation on land. The development of waxy cuticle takes care of this problem. The waxy cuticle acts as an insulator on leaves and other organs of the plant and thus protect them from desiccation.

Correct options: b, d, and f
