If you are from MC then please don't answer this anymore. Especially you, savon_heureux. This is for Biology, so just wait for the next school year. :D

( Public because of urgency. )

Um, is this your homework? Coz' dude I am a Biology major and I could answer these, but I don't even know why you're asking...?

Homework, yes, but I already know the answers. I'm not like, begging for help without working if that's what you think. XDDD It's some weird survey I have to conduct for yet another report. Something about finding out which things people often get wrong, and all that. :D

TRUE OR FALSE

1. TRUE. Or... True-ish? Pattern baldness occurs only in men, but women can get bald too. Just not as often. And it's usually in patches not in patterns.

2. FALSE. Very false. DDDD:

3. FALSE.

4. TRUE.

5. FALSE. Or... False-ish. I do believe the statistics change from year to year? There's a slightly higher percentage of living females right now but that's not necessarily an indicator. And trends tend to vary.

6. TRUE.

7. FALSE. WHAT? WHAT SORTA QUACK QUESTION IS THIS? WE CANNOT WILL BABIES TO BE MALE OR FEMALE. DDDD: // ALSO, GENETICALLY, IT WILL ALWAYS TAKE TWO TO TANGO IF THAT'S WHAT THIS AMBIGUOUSLY PHRASED QUESTION PERTAINS TO.

8. TRUE.

9. TRUE TRUE TRUE.

10. FALSE.

11. I'm not guessing and I don't know. It's not one of the commonly sex-linked disorders. If I were to hazard a guess of an answer, I'd say FALSE though.

12. I REFUSE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION ON PRINCIPLE. But, yes, TRUE.13. TRUE. With a side of false, please. 70% of the genetic make-up comes from the mother because mitochondrial DNA is ( ... )

MY BIOLOGY TEACHER TOLD ME SO MANY LIES. *sniff*

Your icon is win. But, yes, when I got to college, I learned a lot of stuff that high school just did not cover.

Well, according to the answer key (which I still find objectionable given that it is based on high school science), number 12 was supposed to be false. I really don't see why though--not that I'm against the principle of equality. *shrugs*

And number 7 was supposed to be false, too. It's funny what you pointed out (WE CANNOT WILL BABIES TO BE MALE OR FEMALE!!!!), though you were the only one that did. XDD The logic behind the question was that since a mother only has X's for sex chromosomes, then it would mean that the father determined the sex of the child, since he has either an X or a Y to give.

I don't know if you needed someone like me (I know nothing about biology) to answer but I did ( ... )

Thanks for answering! :3
