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.
Conservation is the protection of an organism or a group of organisms (like an endangered species or forests).
Biodiversity is the numerous amounts of species habitated in our earth. The more biodiversity, the better.
Conservation protects biodiveristy, thus, allowing more species to survive and thrive.

Answer:
4 red : 0 white
Explanation:
R R
r Rr Rr
r Rr Rr
Since the dominant allele is RR this means that it will always be red
The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step: Make an observation. Ask a question. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation.
