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.

Which primary symptom does the nurse identify as a potentially fatal complication of epidural or intrathecal anesthesia?
Katyanochek1 [597]
The total blockade comes with the biggest potentially fatal complication of an epidural or intrathecal anesthesia. Many women choose this type of spinal epidural or intrathecal anesthesia during labor to block all labor pains. The primary symptom is hypotension. Hypotension is low blood pressure. Nausea is usually the first symptom of hypotension.  A nurse will be able to intervene when the vital machine shows the blood pressure dropping. This why hospitals always have someone connected throughout labor to a vital signs machine when having an epidural or intrathecal anesthesia.

Who is most likely to experience nasal regurgitation?
leonid [27]
The answer is young child.

Nasal regurgitation it's when the food regurgitates out of the nose.
This is more likely to occur in babies/ young children with some birth defects in the soft palate, or if they have a cleft lip. Those birth defects, usually, get fixed with surgery  when they are still children, that's why is less frequent after that age.
