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.

presence or absence of a protective covering over the ovule

elena55 [62]
The difference between the two students that we know of is that they used a different meter stick. So the difference would be best attributed to  the different tools they used.

Note, this is quite a huge difference. It's likely that one of the sticks, or both, are quite defect.

Primates are a group of animals has flexible hands and feet, large brains in relation to body size, forward-looking eyes, and arms that can rotate in a circle around the shoulder joint

  • Primates include the lemurs,lorises,monkeys,apes and humans
  • The order Primates, with its 300 or more species, is the third most diverse order of mammals, after rodents and bats
  • The Primates order is divided informally into three main groups: prosimians, monkeys of the New World, and monkeys and apes of the Old World
  • All primates have five fingers (pentadactyly), a generalized dental pattern, and a primitive body plan
  • Another distinguishing feature of primates is fingernails
  • Opposing thumbs are also a characteristic primate feature
  • When compared with body weight, the primate brain is larger than that of other terrestrial mammals, and it has a fissure unique to primates that separates the first and second visual areas on each side of the brain
  • The eyes face forward in all primates so that the eyes visual fields overlap
  • Fossils of the earliest primates date to the Early Eocene Epoch (56 million to 40 million years ago) or perhaps to the Late Paleocene Epoch (59 million to 56 million years ago)

mars1129 [50]
A Muscle Contraction Is Triggered When an Action Potential Travels Along the Nerves to the Muscles. Muscle contraction begins when the nervous system generates a signal. The signal, an impulse called an action potential, travels through a type of nerve cell called a motor neuron.
