Feathers are the epidermal growths which form the distinctive outer covering, or plumage of birds and several other vertebrates.

In light insulation, feather of birds have the property of light scattering that allows to diffuse thermal radiation to keep the body of birds warm, results in heat conservation while in conduction, layer of air is trapped in the furs of feather which slowly heated the bodies of animals or birds.

melisa1 [442]

Color blindness is a recessive x-linked trait in humans. In a family where the mother is color-blind, and the father is normal, the probability of their having a color-blind son is 100%.

Color blindness is a recessive x chromosome liked recessive disease which is more prone in males than in females. As the mother is color-blind she has both the alleles of colorblindness while the father is normal with both x chromosome and y chromosome normal.

So if the parents have a boy, he will always receive an x chromosome with colorblindness gene from the mother and a normal y chromosome from the father always. Thus, the probability of having a colorblind boy will be 100%.
