Answer:

The child must have a father who is colorblind and a mother who is a carrier/ is colorblind.

Explanation:

The genetic code for color blindness is carried upon the x chromosome. This means that a male- who has only one X chromosome- only needs their mother to be a carrier to be colorblind. Women on the other hand, need two to be color blind, as the faulty x chromosome can be weeded out by the other.

Therefore, the father, in order to pass on the colorblindness, must be colorblind himself, whereas the mother only needs to be a carrier (or can be completely color blind herself).

What are the components that break down nutrients for absorption in order from simplest to more complex
balandron [24]
Digestive juices break down food into the tiniest nutrient components. Proteins are broken down to amino acids; fats are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol; and carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars for absorption of these vital nutrients. The animal diet needs carbohydrates, protein, and fat, as well as vitamins and inorganic components for nutritional balance. Digestive enzymes are enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into their smaller building blocks, in order to facilitate their absorption by the body.
