Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

A father genotype for male sexuality is X'Y

Since he possess an X - linked disorder, thus in case if it is crossed with a mother with XX genotype

Thus, X'Y * XX

X'X, X'X, XY, XY

Thus, it is clear that a male child will carry Y chromosomes from his father and X chromosome from her mother. Thus, in order to have X-linked disorder, the male child must receive an affected X allele from his mother.

Hence, the probability of son inheriting an X-linked disorder from his father would be zero.

Option B is correct

X-linked disorder is a recessive autosomal disorder, which means that

There is a 1 in 4 chance (25%) of having a child who is unaffected.

There is a 1 in 4 chance (25%) of having a child who is affected by the condition. These children have two copies of the gene that do not work correctly.

There is a 1 in 2 chance (50%) of having a child who is a carrier of the condition.  These children have one working copy of the gene and one copy of the gene that does not work correctly.

How is the shape of a shark's body adapted for swimming?
inn [45]
Their bodies taper to points at both the snout and the tail, reducing water resistance. Also decreasing drag -- and therefore noise -- are dermal denticles, sharp scales that cover the skin of most shark species.  Rather than bone, sharks have cartilage, which is much lighter and more flexible. In addition, their livers produce squalene, a fatty oil that helps them remain afloat. Their pectoral fins allow them to quickly change direction, dive and swim upward.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientific Research is a method used in the construction and testing of a scientific hypothesis.

It has six steps that can be used in solving questions ask or observations made which is A family wants to test the effectiveness of a misting shower head in conserving (saving) water compared to their regular shower head.

Steps to follow:

Make an observation: An observation would be made on how water is been used in the house and how it can be conserved, this observation is what brings about the question asked

Ask a question : The question is

which is more effective in conserving water a misting shower head or regular shower.

Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation: An hypothesis is formulated for the question asked

Example: Null hypothesis: Mistling shower conserves more water than shower head

Alternative: Mistling shower conserves less water that normal shower.

Make a prediction based on the hypothesis: Predictions are made on what could be the cause if there is indeed a difference and what could cause the difference

Test the prediction: An experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis if indeed Mistling is better than normal shower, the appropriate method is determined to be used for the experiment.

Iterate: The result gotten helps to butters our hypothesis if its to be acceoted or rejected. If rejected further research can be conducted on the effectiveness of normal shower in conserving water.
