Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.

Why is water pollution a concern if water is continuously cycled through Earth’s systems?
zvonat [6]
First of all, it makes algae grow, because pesticides and stuff provide too many nutrients. Algae needs a lot of oxygen and so the fish begin to die off because the algae is taking all the oxygen out of the lake. Next, it causes biodiversity to drop, meaning that species are beginning to get less varied. Water pollution harms the lakes and is a concern because the effects of it on species and the water will stay.
