Autotrophs can produce their own food. Heterotrophs rely on autotrophs for food.
O Public lands ranching is increasingly uncommon because of the use of ranchlands for urban development.
Temperature and pH affect the enzymes shape the most.
Answer:
e) Sons and daughters have equal probabilities in inheriting a recessive allele of an X-linked gene from their mother, but only sons can inherit rare Y-linked genetic disorders from their father.
Explanation:
Females have two copies of the X chromosome and males have only one X chromosome (one Y chromosome). Because of that X-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females (males need only one copy to have disease, females with one copy are carriers).
For example, if a mother is a carrier (has only one allele that is associated with disease), she can transmit either the X chromosome with the mutation or an unaffected X chromosome to her children. If the father is unaffected, all of the daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal X chromosome from their father. But, son can be affected, because he inherits Y chromosome from father and can inherit affected X chromosome from mother.
This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the missing section:
Which procedure should Juan use to test his hypothesis?
A. Survey northern and southern residents about the birds in their areas.
B. Observe the direction the birds fly when they depart in the winter.
C. Tag the hummingbirds with transmitters and track their movement.
D. Set up observation posts in the south to verify the time of year that birds arrive.
The answer to this question is C. Tag the hummingbirds with transmitters and track their movement.
Explanation:
To prove or disprove his hypothesis about birds Juan needs to test the direction hummingbirds fly to during the winter because only in this way he can know if the birds fly to the South as he thinks or they go to a different place. Moreover, this can better be tested through precise instruments such as trackers because these will register the movement of birds and clearly show if they are going to the South. Moreover, others such as the opinions of residents or the initial direction when birds migrate might be inaccurate.
