Is it possible for individual IV-2 to be a carrier? Why? Please help!

Answer:

No, it is not.

Explanation:

Looking at this chart, this looks to me to be a case of an x-linked recessive disease.  (If you want to know how to tell, or got some context that this is not the case, let me know)

Remember that females have two x chromosomes and males have one x and one y chromosome. As this disease is recessive, this means that for a female to exhibit the disease, she must have both x chromosomes have the disease. If she only has one x chromosome with the disease, she's considered a carrier.

On the other hand, males are completely binary, as they only have one x chromosome - either their x chromosome has the disease, and they exhibit it, or their x chromosome does not, and they do not have the disease, nor do they carry it. Thus, males can also not be carriers.

A square on the chart is representative of a male, while a circle is a female. IV-2 is a square, thus he is a male. This means that he cannot be a carrier, so your answer is no.

If any of this doesn't make sense, feel free to let me know! Hope this helps.

svp [43]

Answer: They are sterile

Explanation:

Mule is a hybrid of male donkey and female horse with different chromosome number and is considered superior to both horse and donkey. Still it is considered as a weak hybrid this is because the mule is sterile which means that it cannot reproduce further.

The mule though is superior in many ways such as it can jump and is strong. The hybrid of mule is not good as it cannot continue its next generations on earth.

They are sterile and so is a weak hybrid.
