How might a scientist determine whether a trait is sesx linked by observing the offspring of several genetic crosses?

Biology
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

By checking the proportion of those affected by the trait in relation to gender within the population of the offspring

Explanation:

If a trait is sex linked, such trait will be found more in the male sex compared to the female sex within the population.

The male has XY chromosome and as such only needs a copy of the affected allele in order to be affected for the trait. A female has XX chromosome and as such needs two copies of the affected alleles in order to be affected for the trait.

Hence, the proportion of affected male always outweigh the proportion of affected female in a population as far as sex-linked trait is concerned.

<em>Consequently, a scientist might be able to determine whether a trait is sex-linked by observing the proportion of male to female affected by the trait within the offspring's population.</em>

What happens to the water in a poolon a hot,sunny day ?​
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

I'm assuming you meant pool instead of poolon, i'll take it as a grammatical error. Anyhow, the water in a pool on sunny days tend to have less chlorination then on regular days. This is because chlorine forms hypochlorite ions in the water, and these are broken down by the ultraviolet light from the sun. Rainy or shiny, the weather is always affecting the chemistry in your pool.

Now, if you want to get more complicated into it, you can add a stabilizer into the pool. The common one safely used in pools is cyanuric acid. This almost completley prevents all de-chloronification.

I hope this information was of any use to you.

Give the sign of the electrodes and the reaction that occurs at each for both voltaic and electrolytic cells.
liq [111]
In a voltaic cell, electrons flow from the anode to the cathode. Anode is negative while cathode is positive.

In an electrolytic cell, electron flows from the cathode to the anode. Anode is positive and cathode is negative.

For both, Oxidation occurs at the anode and Reduction occurs at the cathode.
