Answer: The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

In diploid organism, chromosomes are present in pair. One chromosome is inherited from mother and one from father. The chromosomes pair is termed as homologous chromosomes. They are similar in shape, size, number of genes present, sequence of the genes, position of centromere, et cetere.

Thus, option A is incorrect.

However, the genes may have different allele. For example chromosome 1 (maternal) contains one dominant allele, say T, while chromosome 1 (paternal) contains recessive allele at the same locus, say t,.

So, if an organism contains same alleles for the trait then, it is termed as homozygous for that trait. It can either be homozygous dominant (TT) or homozygous recessive (tt).

Thus, option B and C are incorrect.

However, of an organism contains two different alleles for the trait then it is termed as heterozygous for that trait (Tt). The phenotype is usually resulted from the expression of dominant allele.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

jeyben [28]

Answer: The probability is 100%.

Explanation: The chromosome X is related to gender. A man carries two different chromosomes (XY) and a woman carries two similar chromosomes (XX). The offspring of a couple will inherited:

  • If it is a boy, he inherites the chromosome Y from his father and X from his mother;
  • If it a girl, she inherites X from her father and X from her mother;

In the question, the woman is color-blind, which means she carries the recessive alleles: X^{d}X^{d}

The man, on the other hand, is normal, so his X-linked genotype will be: X^{D}Y.

Now, since they have a daughter, she inherited her double X from each of her parents, which means she inherited one X^{d} from her mother and one X^{D} from her father.

So, the daughter's genotype can only be heterozygotic  X^{D}X^{d} in other words, the probability is 100%.
