Answer:

It concludes that the man is not the real father of the girl child.

Explanation:

Sex-linked or the X linked characters are the traits that inherited in a change or mutation in X chromosomes that cause the phenotype change in the male, which are homozygous for the gene as only possess one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, and Females if they are homozygous for the gene.

In the question, Man has a normal color vision (XrY) that means he has no mutated allele of color blindness. female has color blindness so that means she is a homozygous chromosome for the gene. Cross between these two results in 50% carrier daughters (XrXR) and 50% color blindness son (XRY). It means there is no chance for the color blind daughter.

Thus, the correct answer would be the man is not the real father of the girl child.

Barbara has curly hair. Her genotype for this trait is CC. What do you infer from this?
Anvisha [2.4K]
<span>Alleles are usually represented by three different methods using two alphabets; when the two alphabets are small letters, it means that both alleles are recessive; when the two alphabets are capital letters, it means that both alleles are dominant and when one of the letter is capitalized and the other a lower case, it means that one of the allele is dominant while the other is recessive. Genotype CC means that the two alleles for curly hair are dominant.</span><span />

Which of the following statements supports the one gene-one enzyme hypothesis?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

A) A mutation in a single gene can result in a defective protein.

Explanation:

This hypothesis states that one gene codes for one protein-enzyme, so consequently, if mutation occurs in that gene, the enzyme will not work properly. This hypothesis was very important for the fundamental discoveries of molecular biology, but it is oversimplified meaning that relationship between genes and proteins is much more complex.
