Answer: The correct answer would be option a.

Explanation:

The hemoglobin in red blood cell has a tendency to bind to oxygen as well carbon dioxide in a reversible manner. It depends upon the partial pressure of the gas.

For example, at tissue site, the concentration of carbon dioxide is higher than oxygen due to which the affinity of hemoglobin increases for carbon dioxide.

In hemoglobin, carbon dioxide reacts with water to form bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.

At alveolar site, these ions again convert into carbon dioxide and excrete out of the blood as a part of exhale air.

melisa1 [442]

Color blindness is a recessive x-linked trait in humans. In a family where the mother is color-blind, and the father is normal, the probability of their having a color-blind son is 100%.

Color blindness is a recessive x chromosome liked recessive disease which is more prone in males than in females. As the mother is color-blind she has both the alleles of colorblindness while the father is normal with both x chromosome and y chromosome normal.

So if the parents have a boy, he will always receive an x chromosome with colorblindness gene from the mother and a normal y chromosome from the father always. Thus, the probability of having a colorblind boy will be 100%.
