Question in English:
A female carries a recessive lethal gene (l) on one of her X chromosomes, and a normal dominant allele (L) on the other. What is the sex ratio to be expected in this woman's dependency if she marries a normal man?
Answer:
2/3 females
1/3 males
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).
The genotype of the female is XLXl. The genotype of the male is XLY, since he is normal.
The possible genotypes are:
<u> XL Xl</u>
<u>XL</u> <em>XLXL XLXl</em>
<u>Y</u> <em>XLY </em><em>XlY</em>
<em />
All female offspring will be normal as they will always have one normal copy of the X chromosome from their father.
50% of the male offspring will be normal, but 50% will inherit the lethal gene from their mother.
Because the allele is lethal, that means XlY males will not be born.
That means 2/3 of the children will be females, and 1/3 will be males.
(A)An adaptation is a characteristic that helps an animal survive in its habitat. All animals must be able to obtain food and water, protect themselves from harm, withstand the climate, and reproduce young so the species doesn't become extinct. ... Without their adaptations, the species could not thrive in that environment.
GIRAFFE-That ability – coupled with the tongue's impressive reach and its tough skin – allows giraffes to selectively browse, plucking leaves from among the nasty thorns brandished by many of its preferred food trees, such as acacias.
<span>A tropism is a movement of an organism toward or away from a stimulus. A positive tropism is when the organism moves toward the stimuli. A negative tropism is when the organism moves away from the stimuli. So, your answer will be negative tropism, since the stem is growing up and out of the soil, AWAY from gravity.</span>
<span>Na+, cl-, hco3-, and k+ are electrolytes. Na+ is sodium. Cl- is chloride. Hco3- is bicarbonate and k+ is potassium. Electrolytes are needed for our organs and cells to function like they should. We obtain some of these electrolytes through the food we eat, such as sodium from salt and potassium from bananas.</span>
