Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types, what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? Particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line. The waves travel in all directions which does not ensure that it will come into contact with particles down the line. The efficiency of the wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense. The oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles.

What is the difference between sex-linked traits and autosomal traits in humans? a. sex-linked traits can only be passed from fathers to sons, while autosomal traits can be passed on from both parents to offspring of any sex. b. sex-linked traits are passed on through the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits are passed on through the other 22 chromosomes. c. sex-linked traits only affect females, while autosomal traits affect both males and females. d. sex-linked traits refer to genes that are on the x and y chromosomes, while autosomal traits refer to genes on all 23 chromosomes.
