Biology

Answer:

They are caused by mutation of the X chromosome.

Explanation:

  • In an XY-chromosomal system of sex determination, Both X and Y- chromosomes are Sex chromosome.
  • Genes on sex chromosome are called sex linked genes.
  • Sex linked genes are referred to as X-linked while Y-linked genes are the ones located only on the Y-chromosome.
  • The genes located in on Y chromosome are holandric.
  • Human females are homozygous for X chromosome while Human males are hemizygous i.e. they have only one X-chromosome and another Y chromosome.
  • Disorders caused due to the mutation in the X chromosome  are called X- linked disorders. Some examples are Hemophilia, Fragile X-syndrome etc.
  • Sex lionked  disorders can be X-linked Dominant disorder or X- linked Recessive disorder.
  • The Dominant disorders are present in every generation, and affected males come from affected mothers. Daughters of affected fathers are always affected but sons of such father are not affected.
  • The recessive disorders are more common in Males and these males come from affected mothers or carrier mothers. The affected females come from affected father and an affected or carrier mother.

How does Natural selection apply to yourself as an individual? will mark the brainliest answer
NARA [144]

Answer:

Natural selection occurs when some of those traits help some individuals survive and reproduce more than others. That causes their genes to become more common in the population over time, and it's the way species evolve to adapt to changes in their environment.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the term for the process by which plants produce food and energy in the presence of some inorganic substances and solar energy.

<h3>What is the reason behind the above answer ?</h3>

The glass of water won't react when it's placed in the sun's rays.

One explanation for the response is: Water and ambient carbon will be the reactants in the experiment, which should produce glucose and oxygen in the presence of the sunbeam.

The true photosynthetic reaction also uses carbon dioxide and water as reactants, but chlorophyll is a plant pigment that is present during the reaction.

Scientists calculated the net primary productivity at two different forest sites. Both forests have the same gross primary produ
Katen [24]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Net Primary Productivity is a term that is used to express the difference between CO2 that is taken in by the plant with photosynthesis minus CO2 that the plant releases.

The two forest sites given in the example may not have the same biodiversity and the same species of plants so we can't be sure of option B.

Again for the same reasons, we can't be sure of option D because we do not know the specific plant species in each forest since they are in different areas.

Option A can be ruled out for the same reasons, the lack of information about the forest sites, since we do not know the death rate of the plants in either of the forests.

Option C can be true because forest A has a higher net primary productivity rate which can be an indication of lower respiratory activity hence lower CO2 production, resulting in the given higher net primary productivity.

I hope this answer helps.
