Answer:

D) males are hemizygous for the X chromosome

Explanation:

Both males and females have two sex chromosomes, but females have two X chromosomes and males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. When only one copy of a gene is present in the cell of a diploid individual, that gene is in hemizygous condition.

  • A female can be heterozygous for a sex-linked trait, one X chromosome carrying a dominant allele and the other X chromosome carrying the recessive allele. In that case, the expression of recessive allele will be masked by the expression of the dominant allele.

  • Males, however, only have one X chromosome, so any allele it carries will be expressed, regardless of its dominance. For that reason, the frequency of appearance of sex-linked traits will be higher in males than in females.

Describe two ways in which communication in the endocrine system and in the nervous system are different and one way in which th
Mkey [24]

The two ways the endocrine system and the nervous system are different in communication, is that the nervous system responds rapidly to short-term changes in the body by sending electrical impulses. And with the endocrine system, it takes longer, so it's a long-term effect until it notices any changes and when it does, it sends chemical messengers known as hormones into the body.

Now, how they are similar, is because both the nervous and endocrine systems work together to maintain homeostasis.
