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

icang [17]

Most of the worlds deserts are located at latitudes where cold, dry air moving toward the poles descends.

E) cold, dry air moving toward the poles descends.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A large portion of the world's deserts are situated almost 30 degrees north scope and 30 degrees south scope, where the warmed tropical air starts to drop.

Hot deserts are essentially found around the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. As air moves inland, it gets drained of dampness and precipitation drops. So the majority of the world's deserts are situated at scopes where cool, dry air advancing toward the shafts slides.
