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

Which of the following statements is consistent with the principle of competitive exclusion?The random distribution of one compe
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Even a slight reproductive advantage will eventually lead to the elimination of the less well adapted of two competing species

Explanation:

The competitive exclusion describes relationship between two species that compete for the limiting sources, and cannot coexist. It is enough for one species to have slightly advantage to be dominant over the other. As a consequence, other species (the weaker one) will be extincted (shift to a different ecological niche).
