Ans.
Sex-linked genes are those genes that found on sex-chromosomes (X and Y chromosomes) and their phenotypic expression for a trait depends on the gender of the offspring.
Most of the sex-linked genes are present on X chromosomes as X chromosomes have more number of genes as they are made up of more DNA as compared to Y chromosome.
However, male individuals are more likely to exhibit the sex-linked traits. It is because most of the sex-linked traits are recessive and males have only one copy of X chromosome, while females have two copies of X chromosome. One mutated copy in male can exhibit the trait, while in females, both of the mutated copies are required to exhibit that trait.
Answer:
The answer is C. The cell took in another ancient prokaryotic cell, which began living inside it.
Explanation:
- The Endosymbiont Theory explains the evolution of membrane bound organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts.
- According to the theory, mitochondria evolved when an ameoba like organism engulfed bacteria capable of cellular respiration.
- Similarly, chloroplasts were developed when the ameoba like organism engulfed cyanobacteria or blue-green algae capable of photosynthesis.
- These organisms survived inside the ameoba over millions of years to develop into mitochondria and chloroplasts.
- The fact that mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own circular DNA and ribosomes is evidence of the endosymbiont theory.
Can you tell me the answer/answer when you finish the test? I have the same one and I’m stuck too
