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.

<h3>Question from alternative source</h3>
Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the CFTR gene. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis?
- silent
- missense
- nonsense
- deletion
Answer:
Nonsense
Explanation:
Nonsense mutations describe mutations that produce a premature stop codon. The stop codons are UAG, UAA, and UGA. A way in which this could arise is, for example, if there was a substution of a nucleotide in the mRNA codon UAC (which codes for the amino acid Tyrosine) to the nucleotide UAG (which codes for a stop codon).
The translation machinery would reach this codon, which signals that translation should be terminated. This would mean that the mRNA would be released, and a truncated (shortened) version of the amino acid would be produced. This is likely to be non-functional, and may even be marked for destruction by the cell.
Answer:
B. Traditional view
Explanation:
the traditional view is that nothing positive results from a conflict
<span>The disinfectant that was the most effective at controlling the growth of E. coli is disinfectant 2 because of the least number of Ecoli strains found on the dish compared to the other disinfectants. Also dish 4 that cointains water has the most number of Ecoli strains because water is not a disinfectant and Acoi do not die in water alone.</span>
The correct answer is B. Pond
Oceans and lakes have huge diversity when it comes to temperature, while lagoons also have them except they're not as vast.
