Answer:

b. Craig is right and doesn't have to pay child support.

Explanation:

ABO blood group is controlled by three alleles. IA and IB are codominant to each other and both are dominant over i allele. IAIA and IAi produce A blood group. IBIB and IBi produce B blood group. ii produces O blood group.

Susan's son has O blood group so his genotype must be ii. He got one "i" allele from Susan and one "i" allele from his father. Craig's genotype is IAIA so there is no chance that he could have passed on "i" allele to Susan's son. Hence Craig is not his father and does not need to pay child support.

Why are males more often affected by sex-linked traits than females?
Andre45 [30]

In homo sapiens(humans), males are the heterogametic sex meaning their sex chromosomes are not the same(=XY) while females are homogametic(=XX).

Sex linked traits or x linked traits are traits whose genes are present on the X chromosome. So if there is a recessive mutation in those genes, males will express that recessive trait. Basically males express everything that’s on their X chromosome because they only have 1, but females have 2 which helps “hide” the mutation and to not express the particular recessive trait.

That is why sex linked traits are more evident in males in the population and an example of that would be colorblindness.

Hope this helps:)

If a lcfa is synthesized with isotopically labeled carbons at the c2 and c3 positions, in which product(s) of the initial cycle
Assoli18 [71]

The isotopically-labeled carbon will be found in the two first acetyl CoA products (the C2 carbon of the first acetyl CoA and the C1 carbon of the second acetyl CoA).

Β-oxidation is the main metabolic pathway of degradation of fatty acid molecules to produce:

on the one hand acetyl-CoA, whose acetyl group is oxidized by the Krebs cycle

and on the other hand NADH and FADH2, whose high potential electrons feed the respiratory chain.

In eukaryotic cells, β-oxidation takes place aerobically in the mitochondrial matrix, but also in other organelles such as peroxisomes and, in plants, glyoxysomes.
