I would say the answer is D ! Sorry if I’m wrong .
Complete question:
Punnet squares for genes found in sex chromosomes are unique in that the pattern of inheritance of these traits is gender-specific. For example, examine the following Punnet square for color blindness, a trait found in the X chromosome (Y chromosome carry only a few genes but they do not possess enough coded information to initiate the development of the male).
Xcb represents the X chromosome carrying the color blindness trait. The allele for color blindness is recessive to the normal form of the gene (X).
Punnet square:
Mother
Xcb X
Father X X Xcb X X
Y Xcb Y X Y
Do male and female offspring possess the same likelihood of carrying the colorblindness trait in their genotype?
Answer:
<em>YES. Male and female offspring </em><u><em>will have the same likelihood</em></u><em> of carrying the colorblindness trait in their genotype. </em>
Explanation:
Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the artached files.
Answer:
<em>Atomic hydrogen efficiently scatters ultraviolet radiation emitted by the Sun, and the amount of scattered light sensitively depends on the amount of H atoms that are present in the atmosphere.</em>
Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
this is where the term "survival of the fittest" comes from. The toughest survive and make offspring and the weak don't.
Answer:
If one parent has blood type B and the other parent has blood type O, the percentage of the blood type of the offspring will depend on the genotype of the parent with blood type B.
Explanation:
Knowing the blood type of the offspring of the cross between parents with blood type B and O raises two possible scenarios, depending on whether the genotype of the parent (type B) is B|B or B|O.
Blood type is an inherited trait and is characterized by the presence or absence of surface antigens A and B in the red blood cells, which genetically behave as co-dominant traits.
- <em>Blood type A</em><em> contains antigen A and its genotype can be A|A or A|O.
</em>
- <em>Blood type B </em><em>contains the B antigen, whose genotype can be B|B or B|O.
</em>
- <em>Blood type AB </em><em>contains both antigens and a single A|B genotypic expression.
</em>
- <em>Type O blood lacks surface antigens, and is the recessive trait so its genotype is O|O.</em>
<u>Scenario 1: Parent with genotype B|B.</u>
In this case, knowing that the genotype for type O is always O|O, all offspring would be of blood type B, genotype B|O.
B|B X O|O
Alleles B B
O B|O B|O
O B|O B|O
100% of the offspring would be of blood type B.
<u>Scenario 2: Parent with genotype B|O.</u>
In this case, 50% of the offspring will have blood type O and 50% B.
B|O X O|O
Alleles B O
O B|O O|O
O B|O O|O
In no scenario would offspring of blood type A be possible.
