Lyndon is investigating whether putting plastic on her windows will help seal out cold winter drafts. She covers a window on the south side of her house with plastic and measures the inside temperature near the window. She also measures the inside temperature near a window without plastic on the north side of her house. The windows are the same size and design. Why is this not an ideal controlled investigation? A.
The windows should be different sizes to introduce variation.
B.
The drafts at each window may be different because the windows aren’t near each other.
C.
Temperature isn’t a good indicator of cold winter drafts.
D.
Outside temperature is a better indicator of cold winter drafts than inside temperature.
E.
The type of plastic used in the investigation isn’t mentioned.

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.
