<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Tetrapods are animals that possess four limbs and some of them include reptiles such as dinosaur, birds, and mammals. These animals originated from Tetrapodomorpha (a clade of vertebrates that consists tetrapod) while the first tetrapods emerged about 367 million years ago.

However, the modern tetrapods are a clade of tetrapods vertebrates which include reptiles, birds, and mammals. The first tetrapods feed on insects and fish.

  • They have four limbs
  • They have different adaptations of the muscles and skeletons that enable to move on land
  • Their tongue is muscular and well developed
  • They do not possess internal gills
  • They possess a layer of dead cells which helps to reduce water loss on the surface their body
  • Tripods are classified into two taxonomy groups, which include
  • Amphibians (Lissamphibia): this includes salamanders, toads, frogs, etc.
  • Amniotes (Aminota): the members of this group are birds, reptiles and mammals.

Alex73 [517]

The scenario will be Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son

<h3>What is color blindness?</h3>

The condition is frequently inherited. Certain eye diseases and medications are also possible causes. Men are more affected than women.

Color blindness is characterized by the inability to distinguish between red and green shades.

A colorblind man's genotype is XcY, and a heterozygous carrier female's genotype is XcX. A cross between XcY and XcX would result in progeny with the following ratio=

Son: 25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% of carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Thus, the couple is likely to have a son who is half normal and half affected. Similarly, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.
