1. What polymer is synthesized in transcription and what monomers are used to build it?
2. Explain why it is incorrect to say that sex linked conditions are linked to the Y chromosome which determines maleness wwhich is why its more common for men to have sex linked conditions than female.
3. Would a drug that prevents tetrad formation(A), a drug that prevents mitotic spindle(B), a drug that prevents crossing over(C), or a drug that interferes with cellular respiration(D) be more promising as a cancer chemotherapy agent?

I guess you are doing either IB higher or Honor Biology:

1. What polymer is synthesized in transcription and what monomers are used to build it?
mRNA is synthesized (if you are doing AP, then pre-mRNA), nucleotides are the monomer (AP: nucleoside triphosphates)

2. Explain why it is incorrect to say that sex linked conditions are linked to the Y chromosome which determines maleness wwhich is why its more common for men to have sex linked conditions than female.
sex-linked genes are genes located on the sex chromosomes. The genes for X-linked recessive conditions (e.g. colorblindness, haemophilia) are located on the X chromosome. Since the X chromosome is longer than Y chromosome, in males they only have one copy of certain genes, but in female they have two copies. So if the gene is recessive, male would have the condition if they inherited it, while for female, they need to be homozygous recessive to have the conditions. (AP: mention Hardy-Weinberg as well.)

3. Would a drug that prevents tetrad formation(A), a drug that prevents mitotic spindle(B), a drug that prevents crossing over(C), or a drug that interferes with cellular respiration(D) be more promising as a cancer chemotherapy agent?
B, cancer is uncontrolled cell division, prevention of spindle formation would stop mitosis.

Perhaps the only minor suggestion I have is to specify ribonucleoside triphosphates instead of just nucleoside triphosphates. Oh, and to point out that the first question wasn't properly formulated.

This guy deserves some fg man.

you are correct
