How are the alleles for sex-linked traits inherited? They are passed from the Y chromosome in parents to the X chromosome in offspring. They are passed from the X chromosome in parents to the XY chromosome in offspring. They are passed from parents to offspring on the X and Y chromosomes. They are passed from any chromosome in the parents to the X or Y chromosome in the offspring.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.

Why are fossils not found in igneous rocks? igneous rocks are made from cooling of lava or magma. igneous rocks are found too deep underground. igneous rocks are too dark in color to contain fossils. igneous rocks are too dense to contain fossils.
