For this scenario, I'll use V for vision to describe the alleles. The cross would be (Xv Xv) x (XV y) giving a 50% of each gender. The way you asked the question is asking for the probability of the child being colorblind given it is a boy, and the answer is 100% because in each case a son would inherit the y from the father, and then a recessive Xv colorblind allele from the mom. In you want the probability of the child being colorblind and a boy out of the total possibilities it is 50% because all the sons will be colorblind.

What is poisonous enough to kill 100,000 turkeys? That’s the question asked by scientists who studied a mass die-off of turkeys
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: The best way for farmers to prevent fungi from growing is to make sure there is not enough  moisture for fungi to survive and grow

Explanation: Fungi require moisture or water for a wide number of reasons. One of the best guesses I can give as a reason to why they might need it is to help them in the process of digestion. Fungi use digestive enzymes which are specially shaped proteins that break down macromolecules like glucose or cellulose and a number of other biological molecules, and they do this through one of two processes, dehydration synthesis, or hydrolysis. Hydrolysis in particular is the one that requires water. It uses pieces of water to break a bond between complex sugars and carbohydrates among other molecules, to separate them into smaller and easier to absorb monomers which are the subunits that make up the molecule. It breaks apart the water and uses the pieces to fill in the gaps of the pieces the monomers used to share.

The answer is D

In prokaryotic cells, there is only one point of origin.  However, replication is faster than eukaryotes because replication in prokaryotic cells occur in two opposing directions at the same time, and takes place in the cell cytoplasm.
