Answer:

a: 1/4

b: 1/2

c. The probability that the couple's first child will be a color-blind son: 1/4

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).
