The answer is; C

It is caused by the recessive allele because the parents appear normal but are carriers of the disorder (meaning they are heterozygous for Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy). Only when the offspring is heterogenous recessive do they display the disorder.

The disorder is also sex-linked because it tends to affect only boys. This means that the disorder is probably coded for by alleles in the Y- chromosome that determines the male sex.

At its maximum simplicity, a phylum may be described in ways: as a collection of organisms with a positive degree of morphological or developmental similarity (the phenetic definition), or a collection of organisms with a certain diploma of evolutionary relatedness (the phylogenetic definition).

The phrase become later modified to phylum. There are approximately 35 animal phyla, 12 plant phyla, and seven phyla of fungi.

Anton [14]
<span>1. What is an endotherm?
Endotherm is an animal that keeps their temperature constant in a certain range. Keeping temperature is important because most enzyme has an optimal working range. By keeping the temperature at optimal range for the enzyme, the organism can do metabolism more efficient.


2. how do sweating, fur, and feathers affect the body temperatures of endotherms?
The environments temperature should influence the temperature of an organism that lives within it. </span>Endotherms need to control their temperature, so they have some mechanism to increase/decrease the body temperature. or to insulate themselves from the environment.
Sweating help decreasing temperature makes the organism can withstand hot environment. Fur and feather will insulate the body, makes the organism more resistant to cold.<span>
