Answer:

The correct answer is : male : female = 1:2

Male percent = 33.33%

female percent = 66.66%

Explanation:

In this question, it is given that a lethal gene is carried by X chromosome which is recessive which means will cause death if both copies are recessive for this gene.

The cross between normal man and hybrid or heterozygous women

The gametes: XH and Y from man and XH and Xh from women where Xh is recessive letheal allele.

The cross:

         XH                          Y

XH     XHXH                  XHY

        normal female    Normal male

Xh    XHXh                     XhY

      Carrier female       dead male

This explains that out of three offspring two will be females and one male. Thus the percentage will be:

Male : 1*100/3  = 33.33%

Female : 2*100/3 = 66.66%

xeze [42]

The unit for power in electricity should be watt. The power show how many energy transferred during a time and the SI unit would be joule per second.  

The bill is charging for the amount of energy. The energy could be calculated by multiplying the power with time. In this case, the power in kilo watt will be multiplied by the duration in hour which make the kilowatt hour.
