The extra X chromosome is received from mother.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Klinefelter's syndrome is the condition of chromosomal aberration where the person has an extra X chromosome. This means the genotype of the person is 44+XXY and the total chromosome number is 47. This condition is achieved due to inappropriate meiotic division and one of the sperm or ovum has the an extra X chromosome.

Here both the parents are normal in terms of colour vision. So the father cannot have the gene of colour blindness because if it was present, then father would have been colour blind because he has only one X chromosome per cell. So its present in mother who is heterozygous in terms of colour blind gene. So the extra X chromosome also came from her which made the presence of two defective X chromosomes in the offspring and made it colour blind.

Answer:

Seizure is an abnormal episode of motor, sensory, autonomic, or psychic activity resulting from a sudden, abnormal, uncontrolled electrical discharge from cerebral neurons.

Explanation:

Seizure is also formally known as an epileptic seizure which it's symptoms involve uncontrolled body movements mostly with every part of the body and loss of consciousness. Epileptic seizure lasts for the maximum of two minutes before the person returns to a normal state. Bladder control however, is usually absent at this stage. Epileptic seizure can be caused by either provocation or without provocation

In provocation, the causes are very low blood sugar and blood sodium, severe fever, brain infection or concussion. Without provocation; brain injury or tumor and a stroke.

When a seizure lasts more than a maximum of two minutes, it is declared an emergency but some seizures do last for about five minutes and it is regarded as normal. There hasn't been any form of cure for epileptic seizures but there are temporary treatments which can prevent frequent seizures.
