If a gene is found only on the X chromosome and not the Y chromosome, it is
said to be a sex-linked trait. Because the
gene controlling the trait is located on the sex chromosome, sex linkage is
linked to the gender of the individual. Usually such genes are found on the
X chromosome. The Y chromosome is thus missing such genes (See Diagram above.).
The result is that females will have two copies of the sex-linked gene while
males will only have one copy of this gene. If the gene is recessive, then males
only need one such recessive gene to have a sex-linked trait rather than the
customary two recessive genes for traits that are not sex-linked. This is why
males exhibit some traits more frequently than females.

Answer:it described how carbon is recycled between earth's biosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and atmosphere. Carbon is an essential element for all life forms so understanding how it is recycled will help us to understand factors and all the biological processes that influence them.
Explanation:
the student should scrap off the layers until a very thin layer remains and put it back on the microscope then the student will be able to view the details of only one cell layer
As a mechanism of evolution, natural selection can be most closely equated with UNEQUAL REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS.
Mechanism of evolution refers to micro-evolution that involves mutation, gene flow and natural selection. Unequal reproductive success is also related to other processes of micro evolution such as natural selection. The organisms that can reproduce unequally and survive even in adverse condition, increase in numbers.
