Answer:

Because men have Y-chromosomes.

Explanation:

In women, the final chromosome is XX, but in men, it is XY. Because this Y gene is different, genetic disorders are typically linked to this chromosome. A mutation in the X chromosome is equally prevalent in the population, meaning that the Y chromosome makes a male more likely to have a disease because they are more likely to have a genetic disorder, due to having both an X and Y chromosome.

If vestigial structures, such as hip bones in dolphins, have no current function, then why does natural selection allow them to

Snezhnost [94]

Vestigial structures are inherited from ancestors, but have lost much or all of their original function due to different selection pressures acting on the descendant. The hipbones of bottlenose dolphins are vestigial structures. However, as the dolphin lineage adapted to life at sea, this function was lost.

B=black and b=brown. A Bb guinea pig crosses with a Bb guinea pig, and four offspring are produced. All of the offspring are bla

Sladkaya [172]

If two Bb guinea pigs cross, there are four possible outcomes:

both pass the B: the son is BB
one of the pass the B and the other pass the b: the son is Bb
both pass the b: the son is bb

Since B (being black) is dominant, the son will be black in both BB and Bb cases. In order for a son to be brown, he must be a pure bb specimen.

So, if all of the offspring are black, it means that all four guinea pigs are either BB or Bb, which in turn means that at least one of the parents passed the B gene.
