Do you think monogamy and polygamy are reproductive strategies?

Indeed, both monogamy and polygamy are reproductive strategies adopted by the different species of the animal world.

Explanation:

Polygamy implies the adoption of a unique and stable partner by an individual, with which in principle it will reproduce. Different species, including humans or penguins, in addition to maintaining the same pair for reproductive purposes, generate bonds of coexistence.

Other species (in fact, most animal species) are not guided by this type of relationship, but fulfill their reproductive functions in a random way, that is, with several individuals of the same species in a random way, which is called polygamy. In this case, there is a constant change in the reproductive couple, which responds to multiple factors such as for example a gender disproportion within the species (for example, many females and few males would make those few males have to comply reproductive functions with several females during the mating period), or due to the non-sedentary nature of life of these species.

the answers are a and c

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.
