How does human evolution or natural selection relate to susceptibility of disease

4 0

Susceptibility to disease means that a person is likely to fall ill, if they are in contact with germs.

Many diseases kill people, so those that are more susceptible to diseases are more likely to die before their reproductive age. Some diseases make people infertile; so in short - susceptibility to disease means that people are less likely to reproduce and spread their genes, so the entire population will be less susceptible to these diseases in the future - and this process is called natural selection!

Show how two phenotypically normal parents can produce a male child with color-blindness.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.

Explanation:

Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.

Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.
