Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami<span>The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku was a magnitude 9.0–9.1 undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14:46 JST on Friday 11 March 2011, with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 29 km. The earthquake is also often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan earthquake and also known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, and the 3.11 earthquake. It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded to have hit Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 meters. got from Wikipedia, need anything else let me know</span>

Two tectonic plates scraping by each other
Answer:
The correct answers are:
1 a. X^RX^r - red eye color female
b. X^RX^R - red eye color female
c. X^RY - red eye color male
d. X^rY - white eye color male
e. X^rX^r - white eye color female
(2nd part can also be answered by above)
Explanation:
It is given that the eye color is a sex-linked character where Red eye color is dominant over white eye color in fruit flies. Sex-linked characters are the character that is a similar inheritance pattern except in the case of the male as there is a Y chromosome that does not carry the gene for the eye color trait so the trait will depend on the allele present on a single X chromosome in males.
On the basis of this, the sex and color of eyes will be:
a. X^RX^r - red eye color female - Dominant character will mask the recessive white color and two copies of X which means female.
b. X^RX^R - red eye color female - both copies are dominant so red-eye color will be expressed and two copies of the X chromosome that means female
c. X^RY - red eye color male - One X and one Y chromosome that means male and only dominant allele present so red eye color.
d. X^rY - white eye color male - Only allele that is present is recessive with one Y chromosome that means male with white eye color.
e. X^rX^r - white eye color female - two X chromosomes with recessive allele which means white eye color female.
