Identify the pattern of Mendelian inheritance represented in the pedigree above and explain how you made this determination
What will be an ideal response?
This pedigree represents a pattern of Y-linked inheritance. Only males have Y chromosomes, so traits encoded by genes on the Y are passed directly from father to son. All Y-linked traits are expressed in males because males are hemizygous for all genes on the Y chromosome.

Following the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, bioremediation was used to eliminate much of the oil from the contaminated water.

Which of the following statements regarding the growth of these microbes is incorrect?
A. The oil-degrading microbes used oil (hydrocarbons) as their carbon source. B. The concentration of sulfate in the Gulf of Mexico is sufficient for the growth of oil-degrading microbes. C. Large amounts of iron were needed, as iron is a macronutrient for oil-degrading microbes. D. Nitrogen gas (N2) present in air is not in a form that can be used by oil-degrading microbes.
