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.

Natali5045456 [20]

The allele for dwarfism - D its dominant
Recessive allele -d
If the person has heterozygous alleles -Dd the person will have achrondroplastic dwarfism
However if the person if homozygous for the allele DD it’s Lethal and person can’t survive
If both parents are Dd
Dd X. Dd
Offspring DD Dd Dd dd
Probability of children who survive with the trait have the genotype Dd
Probability - 1/4 + 1/4
Probability of having surviving children with the trait -1/2 -0.5

Is everyone’s heart biologically the same

WINSTONCH [101]

Yes and no. Everyone's heart works the same way, is made of the same type of tissue and is located in the same part of the body. However, there are people with diseases who have hearts that are in worse condition and may look different. For example, people with coronary artery disease experience plaque build up in their coronary arteries, which causes a reduction of blood flow to the heart, and in order to treat this they may get a bypass surgery in which another blood vessel from somewhere else in the body, would be used to bypass the blocked blood vessel. In this case the anatomy of that person's heart would be slightly different.
