Compact bone is the outer layer that is packed together very tightly. This is mainly for support & balance. The spongy bone is strung together loosely and looks like *no surprise here* a sponge. This helps create blood cells & other bodily garbage.

A man who is a dwarf with achondroplasia and normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was si

Kruka [31]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Assuming the allele for height is T. Since dwarfism is autosomal dominant, a normal height person will be tt while a dwarf person will either be TT or Tt.

Hence, a man who is dwarf but has a normal height father will have a genotype of Tt and an average height woman will have a genotype of tt.

Tt x tt = 2Tt (dwarf), 2tt (normal height)

If the allele for vision is represented by B. A normal vision man will have the genotype $X^BY$ while a colour blind woman will have the genotype $X^bX^b$ .

$X^BY$ x $X^bX^b$ = $X^BX^b, X^BX^b, X^bY, X^bY$

Since, colour blindness is X-linked and recessive, females need two alleles ( $X^bX^b$ ) in order to be affected and none of their daughters posses two alleles.

Hence, none of their daughters is expected to be colour blind with achondroplasia.
