Answer:
sex-linked- recessive
Explanation:
Sex linked recessive are those traits which are expressed even if one copy of the defective allele are present. They are passed from parents to offspring through X or Y chromosomes.
These disorders are more prevalent in men than women because women have two X chromosomes while men have only one. Females can also get X-linked disorder but they are very rare because female needs two copies of defective gene to develop disorder while men need only one.
For example: As you can see in the example image the gene is passed in daughters too but mostly they are carriers but men develop disease because they have only defective X chromosome that contain defective gene and no counter part to lower its effects.
One of the common x linked disease is hemophilia. You can see the pedigree of Hemophilia that men are getting more effected than women.

Answer:
Explanation:
Molecules within a liquid are pulled in all directions by intermolecular forces; there is no tendency for them to be pulled in any one way. However, molecules at the surface are pulled downward and sideways by other molecules, but not upward away from the surface. These intermolecular attractions thus tend to pull the molecules into the liquid and cause the surface to tighten like an elastic film.
A measure of the elastic force in the surface of a liquid is surface tension. The <em>surface tension</em><em> is the amount of energy required to stretch or increase the surface of a liquid by a unit area</em>. Surface tension enables small insects, like the water strider, to “walk” on water.
