Answer:

The answer is 0%.

Explanation:

If X⁻ represent the recessive allele that causes colorblind, and X⁺ represents the dominant allele, thus:

X⁻Y is the genotype of the colorblind man (he is carrier and he has the disease)

X⁺X⁺ is the genotype of the woman (she has normal vision and is not carrier)

When they have children together, the offspring will have the following genotypes:

X⁻Y   x   X⁺X⁺ =    X⁻X⁺   ;    X⁻X⁺   ;   X⁺Y   ;   X⁺Y

Summarizing, they will be 50% X⁻X⁺ (women with normal vision, carrier) and 50% X⁺Y (men with normal vision, non carrier).

No child will have the disease because its expresses when the genotype is homozygous for colorblind allele (X⁻X⁻).

4.Suggest how triglycerides<br>are<br>transported in the blood.​
Mandarinka [93]
Triglycerides and cholesteryl esters are transported in the core of plasma lipoproteins. The intestine secretes dietary fat in chylomicrons, lipoproteins that transport triglyceride to tissues for storage. Dietary cholesterol is transported to the liver by chylomicron remnants which are formed from chylomicrons.
