The answer is x-linked recessive. It is apparent that the color blindness affects the males hence it's caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Males have XY homologous chromosomes. The X sister chromosome has more genes than the Y sister chromosome, hence most males are hemizygous for sex linked genes. This means that even recessive genes on the X chromosome are likely to be expressed in males.

Each lung is fed oxygen by a separate bronchus. Please select the best answer from the choices provided. T F
marysya [2.9K]
Yes it is absolutely true that each lung is fed oxygen by a separate bronchus. There are actually two lungs and two bronchi. Each of the two lungs are safeguarded by the two ribcages as they are placed within the rib cages. The lungs actually consists of elastic sacs that contract and expand for taking in and releasing air. This way oxygen is passed into the blood and carbon dioxide is taken out from the blood and passed out. This is also the main function of the lungs.

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Cool water at the surface traps nutrients deep in the lake to provide food during the winter.

Explanation:

During winter, <u>ice forms on the surface of the lake</u> when the temperature drops below 4 degrees Celsius. However, the <u>water below remains warm</u> because the ice layer on top also acts as insulation of heat transfer in case of further temperature drops. Further, ice formation <u>retains/seals off</u> nutrients and gases flow below the ice sheet. The amount of nutrients is sufficient for phytoplankton activity during light hours (there is no complete darkness even after thick ice sheet is formed). Resultantly, the <u>photosynthesis</u> produces <u>oxygen and food</u> for aquatic organsism within the lake environment and support their <u>survival during winter season</u>.
