First of all, hemophilia is an x-linked recessive and recessive disease. So it's a genetic disease.

Therefore, there is no possibility of snatching it from his son. It can come from mom or dad. If the mother and father do not have this disease, as in the question, the mother carries this disease recessively. If it was a girl, she would be less likely to get the disease, as she would have to inherit the genotype of this disease from both the mother and the father. however, since her children are boys, she received the disease gene from the mother's recessive gene region. Therefore, the boy has hemophilia in the XhY genotype.

Drag the labels from the left to the correct locations in the table to contrast r- and K-selection.

Mandarinka [93]

I don’t see any labels, but remember that humans are a great example of a k-selected species. High rates of parental care leads to high survivorship of offspring, and thus negates the need to have large amounts of offspring.

R-selected species are quite the opposite. They produce large amounts of offspring at many intervals in an attempt to maximize survivorship, as they don’t have strong parental involvement with their young. Think of insects.

Which of the following statements is TRUE about competition between organisms with the same needs when resources are limited?

netineya [11]

Answer:

animals are the only organisms that compete for resources

Explanation:

this is due to the fact that plants take up resources passively, a method which doesn't require them to waste any energy, however in the case of resources, is not very effective. suppose there was a bit of water scarcity in your area, and a plant and you both need water for survival. obviously, the plant cant possibly do anything to receive these resources, as it is just a plant. its survival is based merely on the chance that you pour water into it. this is not the case for animals, which, like us, actively collect and gather resources, and use them to our advantage. therefore, animals are the only animals that compete for resources
