Answer: There is a probability (n.b. NOT certainty) that half of all offspring will be colour blind.

Explanation: The female is XX and as an unaffected carrier we can assign genotype Cc where c is the recessive allele.

The male is XY and colour blind, so genotype cY

Male offspring can be cY or CY so p|colourblind = 50%

Female offspring can be Cc or cc so, again p= 50%

If there is also equal probability of sex of the offspring, there is an overall probability that half the offspring will be colour blind

Answer:

Microscopic observations have shown that the cell is the smallest functional unit of life. We now know the various organelle (or organs) of an individual cell and how they work. For example, a bacteria is a single-cell organism and is capable of carrying out all its life process (growth, division, metabolism, etc.)

Explanation:

<h3><em>The contents of the cell, or the structures of the cell, allow the cell to be "specialized." Together with the cell's proteins, they allow the cell to do specific things. They allow a cell to act like a neuron or a bone cell or a skin cell.</em></h3>

State 2 features each which viruses have in common with living things
BabaBlast [244]
1. Like living things, viruses have genetic material and 2. viruses can evolve.


- Viruses share many genes with their host cells. Viruses are dependent on living organisms, which lead to some living characteristics - they can reproduce/replicate in living host cells, mutate, appear in different strains, and have unique genetic material. However, viruses are classified as not living things because they can’t carry out the necessary processes that meet all requirements for the classification of a living thing. They do NOT undergo respiration and cannot generate energy needed to survive on its own, but viruses *do* share a few features with living things.
