Answer: The correct answer is 10% of the primary consumer's energy.

According to the law of 10 % energy transfer-

10 % of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the subsequent trophic level in a food chain. The remaining energy is utilized in the metabolic processes of the organism or released as heat in the atmosphere.

Primary consumer ( like herbivore) and secondary consumer ( like carnivore) are the trophic levels of the food chain. Primary consumers get energy by consuming producers like plants whereas secondary consumers obtain energy by eating primary consumers.

Thus, 10 % of the energy from the primary consumer is transferred to the secondary consumer.

Red-green color blindness and hemophilia A: Red-green color blindness are two examples of X-linked diseases. Red-green color blindness is simply the inability to distinguish between the many hues of red and green.

Males who are hemizygous (i.e., have only one X chromosome) will fully express an X-linked disease. Females, who have two X chromosomes, on the other hand, will typically be carriers of the abnormality and are hence typically asymptomatic.
