Summarize how a scientist might use a karyotype to study genetic disorders.

Why might missing sections of the X or Y chromosome be a bigger problem in males than deletions would be in one of the X chromosomes in females?

the genetic makeup of an organism

Why do you have to state the domain when simplifying rational expressions?

Why can there be greater genetic diversity within a gene pool than in an individual organism?

What type of investigation would a scientist studying this sinkhole use? What tools might be used to study it?

Determine the genotypes of the parents if the father is blood type A, the mother is blood type B, the daughter is blood type O, one son is blood type AB, and the other son is blood type B.
