Answer:

The correct answer would be option first - It is a traditional nautical term.

Explanation:

In early 17th century sailors used to measure the speed of the ship by the device called a common log. This device was a coil of rope with several knots placed uniformally to it, attached to a slice of pie like shaped piece of wood. It was allowed to flow freely in the sea for specific time and pulled back after particular time.

Thus, the correct answer would be option first It is a traditional nautical term.

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Let the allele for red-green color blindness be represented by c.

Normal vision woman whose father is color-blind will be $X^CX^c$

Color-blind male will be $X^cY$

$X^CX^c$ x $X^cY$

Progeny: $X^CX^c, X^CY, X^cX^c, X^cY$ (See the attached image)

Out of the 2 male progeny, 1 is affected for color-blindness while the other is not affected. This gives a 50% probability that a son of the couple will be color-blind.
