Iwill give brainiest #1 during which of the following processes would carbon most likely be required? breaking of rocks generation of electricity making of glucose running of cars #2 the balanced equation for photosynthesis is shown below. 6 co2 + 6 h2o → c6h12o6 + 6 o2 which statement best justifies the conservation of mass during photosynthesis? the total number of carbon atoms on both sides is 6. the total number of hydrogen atoms on both sides is 18. the number of oxygen atoms is equal to the number of carbon atoms on each side. the number of oxygen atoms is equal to the number of hydrogen atoms on each side. #3 which of the following is an example of how science can solve social problems? it can stop excessive rain from occurring. it can identify the sources of polluted water. it can control the time and day when cyclones happen. it can reduce the frequency of severe weather conditions. #4 what happens to the amount of energy that is used up during photosynthesis? it changes to an equal amount of chemical energy. it changes to a lesser amount of chemical energy. it changes to a higher amount of solar energy. it changes to an equal amount of solar energy. #5 which of the following is true about the glucose molecule during the process of cellular respiration? it forms oxygen. it builds muscles. it forms mitochondria. it release energy.

an individual’s sex (i.e., whether they are a male or female) is determined by the sex chromosomes. most people have two sex chromosomes, one that is inherited from their mother and one that is inherited from their father. typically, females have two x chromosomes (xx) and males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy). conditions caused by changes (“mutations”) in genes located on the x chromosome are considered x-linked.

x-linked recessive inheritance

most x-linked conditions are recessive. this means that in a person with two x chromosomes (most females), both copies of a gene (i.e., one on each x chromosome) must have a change or mutation whereas in a person with one x chromosome (most males), only one copy of a gene must have a mutation. a female with a mutation in one copy of a gene on the x chromosome is said to be a “carrier” for an x-linked condition. a male with a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome is typically affected with the condition. because females have two copies of the x chromosome and males have only one x chromosome, x-linked recessive diseases are more common among males than females. however, x-linked recessive diseases can occur in both males and females.

for x-linked recessive disorders, an unaffected carrier mother who has a mutation in a gene on the x chromosome can transmit either the x chromosome with this mutation or a “normal” x chromosome to her children. if the father is unaffected, none of her daughters will be affected and all of her daughters will be unaffected—since they will inherit at least one normal x chromosome from their father. however, each daughter will have a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier like her mother and a 50% chance of both x chromosomes being normal.
