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%

Which is the correct breakdown and translation of the medical term vaginoperineotomy?
egoroff_w [7]
Hello!! I am going to break down the word first. Vagino means vagina, perineo means perineum (area between the anus and the scrotum), and tomy means to make an incision or cut. The translation would be to make an incision to repair a perineal tear (which means the vagina has separated from the anus). Perineal tears are usually caused by childbirth. I hope I helped and gave the answers you were looking for!! Have a great evening.

Rudik [331]
<h2>Diffuse co-evolution </h2>

Explanation:

The term ‘diffuse co-evolution’ was given by Janzen in 1980 to describe the idea that selection on traits often reflects the actions of many community members, as opposed to pairwise interactions between species

The idea was further clarified by Gould in 1988 by focusing on a variety of ecological and genetic mechanisms that might lead to diffuse co-evolution in response to selection from multiple species

Diffuse co-evolution as a whole can be defined as when selection imposed reciprocally by one species on another is dependent on the presence or absence of other species

In the given example panic grass can live only when the fungus protuberata is present and for Curvularia protuberata to colonize Curvularia thermal tolerance virus must be present so there is a web of multiple species where one species is dependent on other species and that other species in turn is dependent on different species hence referred to as diffuse co-evolution

E. coli is a species of bacteria. What advantage does E. coli have over sexually reproducing organisms?
statuscvo [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The bacteria require less energy to make offspring,

They do not need a partner

Also the reproduction is faster and rapid compared to sexual reproduction.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves one parent and produces offspring that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent.
  • In sexual reproduction, on the other hand, two parents are involved, who produce reproductive cells called gametes that unite to form an offspring.
  • <em><u>E. coli is a bacteria that reproduces asexually. An asexual reproducing organism can produce many offspring in a short period of time without utilizing energy to find a mate</u></em><u>. </u>
