20. Edward Lambert, an Englishman, was born in 1717. Lambert had a skin disorder characterized by very thick skin that was shed

periodically. The hairs on his skin were very coarse, like quills, giving him the name "porcupine man." Lambert had six sons, all of whom exhibited the same traits. The trait never appeared in his daughters. In fact, the trait has never been recorded in females. Provide an explanation for the inheritance of the "porcupine trait

Answer:

The trait is Y-linked

Explanation:

The only plausible explanation behind the inheritance pattern shown by the porcupine trait is that it is <u>Y-linked</u>.

<em><u>Y-linked traits are limited to the Y chromosome only</u></em><em>, a sex chromosome that is peculiar to only the male gender. Chromosomally, females are XX while males are XY. Hence, only the male gender has the genetic capacity to inherit the porcupine trait. This is why only the sons of Edward Lambert, and never the daughters, exhibited the trait. </em>

Use complete sentences to explain how the mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The mass of hydrogen is conserved during cellular respiration as it follows the Law of Conservation of Matter. This shows that hydrogen has been conserved throughout the entire process (H representing Hydrogen) as the product has the same amount of hydrogen as the reactants.

The AMOUNT of carbon-dioxide atoms released by respiration are EXACTLY EQUAL to the atoms of these materials contained in the oxygen and carbon converted. In this way respiration has conserved the mass or material and in this way followed the law of conservation of mass.
