Answer:

c or e

Explanation:

<u>The correct answer would be the child's maternal grandmother or grandfather.</u>

For X-linked traits, only females can be carriers while males are either affected or totally free from the trait. This is because females have two X (XX) chromosomes while males have only one (XY).

<em>Since the couple is normal, it means the father is free from color blindness. The only available option now is the mother and since she is phenotypically normal, it means that she is a carrier of the disease. She must have inherited the allele from either of her parents, but not from both. If she had inherited an affected X chromosome from each of her parents, she would have been phenotypically affected for color blindness. </em>

Hence, the child's color-blind allele can only be traced back to either of the child's maternal grandmother or grandfather.

The correct option is c or e.

Four differences between viruses and bacteria ​
amid [387]

the main difference is that bacteria are free-living cells that can live inside or outside a body, while viruses are a non-living collection of molecules that need a host to survive.

Many bacteria help us: living in our gut digesting and helping absorption of our food, fixing nitrogen and decomposing organic materials in soil. Similarly, not all viruses are bad—we now know there are also beneficial viruses present in our gut, skin and blood that can kill undesirable bacteria and more dangerous viruses.

Why would tissue from the fetal stage of human development be used to look at mitosis?
WITCHER [35]
Mitosis is the process of cell division, where one parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells. This process is vital in growth and tissue repair. 
The reason that tissue from the fetal stage is helpful in studying mitosis is because mitosis is continuously and rapidly occurring in this phase of life in humans. The high rate of mitosis is due to the need for the fetus to grow rapidly and develop the necessary parts for it to be born.
