The sex ratio for the entire US was less than 100, indicating that there were more females than males. The sex ratio at birth exceeded 1.0, denoting a greater number of male births to female births. How could one account for the difference between the sex ratio for the US and sex ratio at birth?
Homework Answers
The difference between sex ratio for the US and sex ratio at birth is that statistically women live longer than male.Life expectancy of females is more than males.As long term trends in health the life expectancy at birth of females is 81 years where as male have life expectancy of 76 years.And females are double the number than males who are aged 85 and older.Statistically womens are living more than mens.So sex ratio of US is drastically different from sex ratio at birth.

Experimental prediction: Comparing autosomal and sex-linked inheritance
You now know thatinheritance of eye color in fruit flies is sex-linked: The gene encoding eye color is located on the X chromosome, and there is no corresponding gene on the Ychromosome.How would the inheritance pattern differ if the gene for eye color were instead located on an autosome (a non-sex chromosome)? Recall that for autosomes, bothchromosomes of a homologous pair carry the same genes in the same locations.Suppose that a geneticist crossed a large number of white-eyed females with...

22.32 Do chemists have more girls? Some people think that chemists are more likely than other parents to have female children. (Perhaps chemists are exposed to something in their laboratories that affects the sex of their children.) The Washington State Department of Health lists the parents’ occupations on birth certificates. Between 1980 and 1990, 555 children were born to fathers who were chemists. Of these births, 273 were girls. During this period, 48.8% of all births in Washington State were...

The file HeadCirc.csv contains head circumference measurements made on female and male babies at age two months. The measurements were made in an infant health centre serving a large suburban district when the babies were presented for routine 2-month health checks in a particular week. All the babies were from single births (i.e., no twins or triplets, etc). The variables are – Circ Head circumference in centimetres (cm) Sex The sex of the baby (“Female” or “Male”) (a) Provide a...

The diet of peregrine falcons consists of songbirds, shorebirds, and waterfowl. Typically, songbirds are smaller than shorebirds, which are smaller than waterfowl. The female peregrine is considerably larger than the male, with a length of 46-54 cm, compared to 38-46 cm for the male. Data were collected on the prey of a number of peregrines of each sex for the purpose of determining whether or not the larger females more regularly capture the larger prey, with the results below. Prey...
