Answer: villi

Explanation:

In a human digestive system, small intestine is responsible for fat digestion. small intestine consist of small finger like projections called villi which functions the fat digestion by increasing the surface area for nutrient absortion.

The surface mucous-membranous layer protects the heart of a villus. This is composed mainly of two types of cells including columnar cells which absorb the substances passed into the blood and lymphatic vessels; and goblet cells, rounded at the end, which secrete mucus into the intestinal cavity.

Hence, villi increases the surfcae area for nutrient absorption in the small intestine.

Arte-miy333 [17]
The answer is x-linked recessive. It is apparent that the color blindness affects the males hence it's caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Males have XY homologous chromosomes. The X sister chromosome has more genes than the Y sister chromosome, hence most males are hemizygous for sex linked genes. This means that even recessive genes on the X chromosome are likely to be expressed in males.
