Cat breeders are aware that kittens expressing the X-linked calico coat pattern and tortoiseshell pattern are almost invariably females.

Which one of the following statements supports this conclusion?

a)Since females normally have two X chromosomes, random X inactivation during development of a heterozygous female will create a mottled pattern.
Normal males are not mottled, because they only have one X chromosome and therefore can only express one of the two potential X-linked alleles.
b)Since males normally have one X and one Y chromosome, random X inactivation during development of a male will create a mottled pattern.
Normal females are mottled, because they have two X chromosomes.
c)Since females normally have two X chromosomes, expression of both potential X-linked alleles at the same time in all cells will create a mottled pattern.
Normal males are not mottled, because they only have one X chromosome and therefore can only express one of the two potential X-linked alleles.
d)Since females normally have two X chromosomes, random X inactivation during development of a homozygous female will create a mottled pattern.
Normal males are not mottled, because they are heterozygous and therefore express each one of the two potential X-linked alleles.

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation
