Answer:

Man's genotype: XᴮY

Woman's genotype: XᴮXᵇ

Daughter's genotype: XᵇXᵇ

The daughter is not the man's child.

Explanation:

Color blindness is a sex-linked trait caused by a recessive allele located in the X chromosome (Xᴮ=normal vision; Xᵇ-color blind).

Women have two X chromosomes, while men have an X and a Y chromosomes. For that reason, women need to have two recessive alleles to be color blind, while men only need one Xᵇ to be colorblind.

Since the man has normal color vision, his genotype would be XᴮY.

If the daughter is her father's, she would have inherited his dominant Xᴮ allele, so she would have normal vision. However, she is colorblind, so her genotype is XᵇXᵇ. She is not the man's daughter.

The mother also has normal color vision, but her daughter inherited a recessive allele from her, so her genotype is heterozygous XᴮXᵇ.

What would happen if you delete one amino acid in a particular protein?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
It depends upon the protein and also where the deletion of the single amino acid has occurred. Does ur alter or disrupt an important fundamental function or aspect of the protein such as the capability of substrates to bind to the active site, or is near a region that is primarily for developing the additional structure of the protein and is not as important. In most cases, a single amino acid change will not cause the protein to lose its complete function of be denatured.
