Answer:

50% of the offspring female population are expected to be white eyed females

Explanation:

Since the allele can only be found on the X chromosome, the chances of the offspring developing white eyes, would mostly occur in the females; since the heterozygous female would mate with a white eyed male.

This results to the following below

R- red eyes

w- white eyes

Female - R w            X             Male- w w

Offspring alleles F1-   R w   R w   w w   w w

Therefore, from the cross, we can conclude that the percentage possibility of white eyed females is... 50%.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Endometrosis could negatively affect the probability of gestating an embryo if they are growing inward. The affection of the fallopian tubes and the uterus could alter the implantation or even generate complications for the embryo during pregnancy.

In addition, endometriosis generates painful conditions in the abdominal area to the point that it is considered as menstrual cramps during menstruation, women who suffer from this disease suffer a lot during the menstrual cycle.

Regarding the reproductive system, those female reproductive systems that suffer from this disease are considered potentially malignant, since many malignant neoplasms are incited to appear in these foci of excessive proliferation of the endometrium.

Explanation:

Endometriosis can affect the walls of the fallopian tube and the uterus, since it occurs in the endometrium, that is why it bears that name.

The macroscopic appearance of this lesion at the histological level is a tumor nodule, since they are proliferative foci.

Evolution Due to environmental factors, It may not look it, but, needles are leaves, they collect solar radiation to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis, however, needles are, some would say, evolutionary superior to leaves. Needles themselves hold in more water due to their dense wax coating, they are very difficult for insects and other organisms to eat, one because of their structure, and two because of their acidity, they can catch sunlight all year long due to their winter resilience( they don't fall, during the winter), and they have less surface area for wind to catch, which leaves them better protected from wind than most deciduous trees, however the surface area can also pose a larger problem for less surface area means less sunlight interception, therefore more are needed to compete against regular leaves. But.. I Digress... Plant needles are 'PROBABLY' initially the result of evolution of narrow leaves due to climate or environmental factors. 

Sry its so long got carried away! Hope this helps xD
