Answer: B (Color blindness)

Explanation:

Typical red-green color blindness in human patients is caused by mutations on genes located in the X chromosome. These mutations act in a recessive manner. Since females have two X chromosomes, the presence of a mutation in a single one of them does not normally result in color blindness. Males, in contrast, have a single X chromosome and therefore the presence of a mutation is likely to cause the disease.

About the other options: Down‘s syndrome is a numerical chromosomal anomaly, not related to sex. Human blood type is a codominant trait. Finally, tail length in dogs is a polygenic trait not amenable to classic Mendelian analysis.

What is natural selection?
Helen [10]
The answer is a process that selects variation that help survival and that spreads the variation to more offsprings.

The idea is that there is a higher chance of survival if the organisms has certain characteristics and it is more likely to pass on their genes of this characteristic to the next generations.

For example, there's dark colored fish and white fish. In the deep ocean, dark colored fish can camouflage themselves. However, white fish can be seen easily by predators. Therefore, eventually more dark colored fish survives and more offsprings are dark ones.
