Answer:

Environment and competition is the leading cause of evolution. It's an instinct to want to live, but trying to survive is difficult when other animals have the same goal. An ecosystem is a cycle, but every generation of this ecosystem slightly changes, and so do the animals. Every bug that has fitness can start overpopulating the ecosystem, leading to a surge of resources for what preys on the bug. Now bird's population goes up, so do other animal populations. Or the bug becomes an invasive species, and birds are being hunted too often to decrease the population.

In a different scenario, bugs are evolving because of the selection pressure that the environment is giving them. The birds have become better over the generation, and now have a more suited beak to catch the bug off the ground. The bug population maybe be decreasing, but the ones who live through the crisis are populating with bugs that certain gene that helped them out. But it's not over, the bug population isn't declining but it wasn't as big as it was before. The bird will find more ways to find and capture the bugs. But then bugs will keep surviving through the selection pressure and become much harder to find since they figured out camouflage. The bug that was neon yellow was dying since they were easy to see. Now they can range from green to black to hide in the environment. Now the birds are facing the selection pressure, it's a cycle.

Three generations of a family afflicted with hemophilia are illustrated in the pedigree chart. Family members used the pedigree
musickatia [10]
The answer is A. Sex-linked traits are more often expressed in males because they are typically carried by the X chromosome and they are also typically recessive. Males only inherit one X chromosome, so if the one they inherit is linked to the disease, they will express it no matter what. Females, on the other hand, can be carriers if they inherit one X chromosome with the disease. This is because their other X chromosome can be normal, which would dominate the expression of the disease on their other X chromosome.
