ra1l [238]
The probable genotype of the IV-3 with the perspective of autosomal inheritance will be A because he does not have condition A. Therefore both parents must be in condition A.
The probable genotype of IV-3 with the perspective of set=linked inheritance will be BbY this is because he has B condition. Therefore the mothers' genotype must be XBXb and the father's genotype must be XBY. 
The probability of IV-4 having condition A is 1/36

The main difference between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic cell is that, eukaryotes contain membrane bound organelles like nucleus where as prokaryotes do not. The genetic material is present at the center and is called nucleoid in prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Example of prokaryotes include bacteria and archea bacteria. Examples of eukaryotes include plants and animals. Prokaryotes lack organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic resticulum and lysosomes which are present in eukaryotes. Both the groups contain ribosomes but its 70s ribosome in prokaryotes and 80s ribosomes in eukaryotes.
