Question in English:
A female carries a recessive lethal gene (l) on one of her X chromosomes, and a normal dominant allele (L) on the other. What is the sex ratio to be expected in this woman's dependency if she marries a normal man?
Answer:
2/3 females
1/3 males
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
The genotype of the female is XLXl. The genotype of the male is XLY, since he is normal.
The possible genotypes are:
<u> XL Xl</u>
<u>XL</u> <em>XLXL XLXl</em>
<u>Y</u> <em>XLY </em><em>XlY</em>
<em />
All female offspring will be normal as they will always have one normal copy of the X chromosome from their father.
50% of the male offspring will be normal, but 50% will inherit the lethal gene from their mother.
Because the allele is lethal, that means XlY males will not be born.
That means 2/3 of the children will be females, and 1/3 will be males.
An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).

Adenosine Triphosphate is a compound used by the cell to store energy. Together with NADP, ATP is responsible for carbon dioxide reduction. Carbon dioxide is said to be reduced when it loses oxygen, reacts with hydrogen or gains electrons. Carbon dioxide becomes part of Glycerate 3-phosphate.
