In some third world countries "cyanide fishing" for aquarium trade is allowed. Cyanide fishing uses the cyanide to "stun" fish a

nd make them easy to catch. But the cyanide combined with handling stress has led to a mortality rate in the captured fish somewhere between 60% and 80%. Knowing this, how might this method impact the environment? Cyanide is a safe chemical, so there will not be any effect on the environment.
B) Increase cyanide levels in the water will increase the biodiversity in that area.


C) Since so many fish are being caught, there is more room for predators to flourish.


D) It could lead to overfishing, since more fish have to be caught due to the high mortality rate.

The best answer would be letter D, it could lead to over-fishing, since more fish have to be caught due to the high-mortality rate. 

Cyanide fishing is actually one of the greatest threats within the oceans and seas. It is a quick-fix solution that humans have resulted to in order to gain more profit. As a result, the environment of species in the water are directly affected.

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.
