Red-green color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive gene. In a family, the mother is a carrier of this gene while the f

ather does not have the gene. What are the possible effects on their children? Select one of the options below as your answer:
A. Half of the daughters are normal and half of the daughters are color-blind.
B. Half of the boys are normal and half of the boys are color-blind.
C. Half of the boys are color-blind and half of the girls are color-blind.

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

B. half of the boys are normal and half of the boys are color-blind. ( boys are most likely to get color blond than girls, the girls can also be carrier like the mother)

having free earlobes is a dominant trait in humans, and having attached earlobes is recessive. a father has the genotype ff, and
k0ka [10]

A phenotype is a physical characteristic which is visible. Hence when the resulting combinations have two dominant alleles or even one dominant allele, the dominant characteristic is exhibited. The recessive characteristic is exhibited only when both the alleles are recessive.

To find the ratio of phenotypes, we need to place the genotype of the father and mother in a grid form ( attached grid figure)

Here we have two Ff phenotypes which is dominant and two ff phenotypes which is recessive

Hence the ratio is 2:2 or 1:1

Why does darkness affect the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Light independent reactions require the energy gathered in the thylakoids.

Photosynthesis can divided into two sub-processes or reactions:

Light-dependent reaction: It converts solar energy into chemical energy that is, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH with the help of photolysisis of water. It takes place in thyllakoid membrane of the chloroplast.

Light-independent reaction: It fixes carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the food or glucose with the help of enzyme RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase).

It takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast and does not require the involvement of light however, it requires the products (ATP and NADPH) of the light reaction.

Fixation of 1 molecule of glucose requires 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP and 6 molecules of NADPH.

So, darkness indirectly affects the light-independent reaction.
