Biology

Answer:

Because it contains two different sex chromosomes

Explanation:

Man in its genome contains two sex chromosomes, X and Y, while woman contains two X chromosomes.

In order to be a carrier of a sex-linked trait, a person should have one copy (one allele) of a certain trait. For example, if a female has one X chromosome with mutation (e.g. disease carrying) and one normal X chromosome, she is carrier for the disease. But, on the other hand if a male has one X chromosome with mutation he will develop that disease.

snow_tiger [21]
Photosynthesis is carried out in the chloroplasts which contain the green pigment chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is what gives plants their characteristic color and it works by capturing the energy that is in the sunlight that strikes the plant. Photosynthesis is important to life on Earth because grass uses photosnthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth<span>. Subsequently, organisms that consume the grass obtain energy and so on. Therefore, photosynthesis is the process through which energy enters an ecosystem.</span>
