The color blindness would be from his mother, since it is located in the X chromosome, and since his father is not color blind, and he only has one X chromosome, it could not come from him, but since the trait is recessive in women (meaning that it is covered up by a capital X) it means his mother could have the trait in one of her chromosomes, but not the other. Unfortunately Bob got the short end of the stick and got the chromosome with color blindness, and since men only have one X chromosome, it is dominant in men, leaving Bob with color blindness.

What type of mutation has occurred in the dna of people with sickle cell anemia? (look back, if you need to, to see what causes
strojnjashka [21]
People with two copies of the sickle cell gene have the disease. People who carry only one copy of the sickle cell gene do not have the disease, but may pass the gene on to their children. Abnormal hemoglobin, called hemoglobin S, causes sickle cell disease (SCD). The problem in hemoglobin S is caused by a small defect in the gene that directs the production of the beta globin part of hemoglobin. This small defect in the beta globin gene causes a problem in the beta globin part of hemoglobin, changing the way that hemoglobin works.

Animated neon signs seem to move even when no physical movement
Gnom [1K]
This illusion is an example of what you called an INDUCED  MOVEMENT. It is called an induced movement because animated neon signs seem to move even though there is no physical movement in them. Induced movement or induced motion is an illusion in which people tend look into it moving even it is really not moving.
