Answer:

b. red-green color blindness and hemophilia.

Explanation:

Two types of gene determine sex of  human. The X-chromosome and the Y -chromosomes.They  are known as heterosomes, because  they are different, Unlike other somatic  chromosomes which are known as    autosomes  because of similar morphology.

<u>  If a gene  is found on  X chromosome,  but with  no corresponding match  on Y-chromosomes ; that is not   available  on Y chromosome,  the gene </u><u>said to be a sex-link-gene.</u>

<u />

<u>T</u>herefore diseases transmitted by this gene are said to be sex-linked diseases, that is it is linked to the gender or sex-  that the chromosomes, will determine.(since pairing of XY-male and XX - female).

Thus if the sex-linked gene is present on X-chromosome, of both parents, the girl child  inherits the sex-linked diseases.<u> One defective X-chromosomes from each parent.</u>

<u />

<u> </u>However, if the gene is present on the inherited   X-chromosomes of the mother, and the Y chromosomes of the father, the male child is Sex-linked.

In a carrier mother with one X-chromosomes of sex-linked disease and the other of free  of sex-link, if the girl child inherits this sex-linked gene from the mother, and normal X- chromosomes from the father, the girl child who now has one sex-linked gene, and other normal X-chromosomes of the father is said to be a carrier. Thus such a girl child is not affected, but can pass the defective gene in subsequent generation provided she gets married to  a man with sex -linked gene.

Men are not carriers of sex-linked  diseases because, men only have 1 X-chromosomes, the  Y-chromosomes  is very weak, smaller than the X, and therefore can not bear the  sex-linked genes. This explains the reasons why most sex-linked characters of females are usually inherited from fathers.

In garden pea plants, purple flowers (P) are dominant to white flowers (p), and full pod shape (F) is dominant to constricted po
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The phenotypes are as follows

Purple, full- 9

Purple, constricted- 3

White, full- 3

White, constricted- 1

Genotype of parents are PpFf, each produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf.

Explanation:

This is a dihybrid cross involving two distinct genes. One coding for flower color and the other for pod shape. The allele for purple color (P) is dominant over the allele for white color (p) while the allele for full pod (F) is dominant over the allele for constricted pod (f).

In a cross between two heterozygote parents i.e. PpFf × PpFf, each parent will produce the following gametes: PF, Pf, pF and pf. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image) the following 16 offsprings will be produced in a phenotypic ratio: 9:3:3:1

Purple color, full pod- 9

Purple color, constricted pod- 3

White flower, full pod- 3

White flower, constricted pod- 1

In what ways do cells use energy
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Image result for In what ways do cells use energy

Cells do not use the energy from oxidation reactions as soon as it is released. Instead, they convert it into small, energy-rich molecules such as ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components.

Answer:

A. to conserve soil nutrients

Explanation:

Crop rotation helps to maintain soil structure and nutrient levels. If you don't rotate crops, the soil in that field will inevitably begin to lose the nutrients plants need to grow.
