The correct answer is option B, Half of the boys are normal and half of the boys are color-blind

When a  mother carries certain X – linked recessive traits, she passes on this X-linked traits to her son and he will inherit the color vision issue have trouble distinguishing reds and greens While a daughter can be just as carrier of the trait of colorblindness and will have this form of colorblindness only when both her father and mother pass along the X-linked gene. Thus, more men than women are color blind.  

The cross for the above situation is shown below –  

XXr  x XY

XXr – Color deficiency carrier mother

XY – Father without any color deficiency

Off springs produced will be  

XX – unaffected daughter

XXr – Carrier daughter

XY – Unaffected son

XrY – Affected son

What kind of tissue provides plants with the first line of defense against damage and disease?
sergeinik [125]


The best answer - dermal tissue.

Dermal tissue in plants forms the first line of defense against physical damage and infection from the outside world.

Dermal tissue covers the outside of the plant, except in woody shrubs and trees, which have bark. The most common cell type in dermal tissue is epidermal cell. Generally, a thin waxy layer called a cuticle covers the epidermal cells and protects them.

Other cells in the dermal tissue are guard cells that surround the stomata, which are openings in the leaves. Gases enter and leave the dermal tissue through the stomata.
