Answer:

100%

Explanation:

A sex-linked trait is a trait which is inherited on the sex chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes). This means that that trait is only inherited by offsprings of a particular sex. In this question, a family is said to have a Y-linked disease that affects the father.

Note that, Y chromosomes are only present in the male sex, meaning that a father will always transfer its Y chromosome to all his male offsprings. Since this disease (trait) is on the Y chromosome, it means that all male offsprings i.e. 100% of this father will have the disease.

Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

A. 200 mOsM NaCl

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

B. 400 mOsM urea

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

D. 300 mOsM urea

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.
