Answer:

If the "b" allele denotes color blindness, a color blind woman would have the "bb" genotype.

Explanation:

Although color blindness is a genetic condition linked to the X chromosome, it is very rare for color blind women to exist, although they may carry the allele that denotes color blindness.

This is because women have two X chromosomes, if a woman receives an X chromosome from her father containing the "b" allele (which represents color blindness), but receives an X chromosome from her mother which contains the "B" allele (which does not represent color blindness), this woman will not be color blind, although she may pass the defective gene on to her children.

With this, we can affirm that, in women, color blindness is only expressed in recessive homozygosity, for this reason, a color blind woman would have the "bb" genotype.

Which selection below explains who was responsible for enforcing the laws under the Articles of Confederation?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

D. entrusted to Congress

Explanation:

The congress has the power to do anything but it gave the states the power so they were basically ruled over.

The people had a problem with the Congress because it gave the states to much power and it gave the central government no power.

The executive branch enforces the laws because the president approves it.

The judiciary branch only helps send laws through to the other branches.

The states had all the power so they controlled a lot of the government.
