A sex-linked trait is a trait that is carried by the X chromosomes in females but it is not expressed(the phenotype). Females are only carriers because they have two copies of the X chromosome [one of them carries the trait and the other does not]. Males who inherit one copy of the X chromosome often get the trait (because the trait is in either one copy or the other of the X chromosome) and express it while their Y chromosome would became recessive. Thus, only males express sex-linked traits such as hemophilia or color blindness

Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
Fungi includes mushrooms, yeast, and mold. Fungi are multicellular and eukaryotic. They are also heterotrophs, and gain nutrition through adsorption
