Answer:

Option D, Zero out of four (0%)

Explanation:

As we know,  achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant pattern. Now a girl having normal stature mate with a partner who also has a normal stature.

Thus let us assume -

Allele for disproportionately short arms and legs be represented by "A"

while allele for normal stature be represented by "a"

Now genotype of parents would be

Female - aa

Male - aa

Thus,

aa x aa

aa, aa, aa, aa

Thus, option D is  correct.

How do the three types of colorblindness differ in genotype and phenotype?
vfiekz [6]

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly  - phenotype:  reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue  

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.

In comparison, humans are endotherms and can maintain their body temperature at about 37°C.
