The gene for nose shape is found on the X chromosome. Round nose is dominant to pointed nose. Human individuals with XXY (an add

itional X chromosome) are designated male. Individuals with XO (only one X chromosome) are designated female. Identify the possible nondisjunction events (rare mistakes during meiosis) that could explain the phenotype of the offspring. An XY parent with a round nose and a XX parent with a round nose have an offspring with Klinefelter Syndrome (genotype XXY) with a pointed nose.

Lantern fish live in the middle ocean depths where there is no sunlight. which example is a response to this dark environment? q
densk [106]

Answer:

A lighting producing organ to attract mates and prey.

Explanation:

Camouflage would do very little for a fish that spends most of it's day in the middle of a dark ocean. Mimicking other deep sea creatures would actually be more of a disadvantage than an advantage, as the sounds would be more likely to scare away potential prey, rather than attract them. A light however, would attract the prey's curiousity and urge them to check out the light.
