Lethal alleles cause the death of an organism prenatal or after the birth. Lethal alleles are usually a consequence of a mutation and they can be recessive, dominant or conditional. Since the lethal dominant alleles are harmful whether they are carried in homozygous (e.g.AA) or heterozygous (e.g.Aa) form, a strong selection against them is present and thus these alleles are much more rare.

Answer:
There is no diagram in this question but the question can still be answered without it.
B. hold the cell membrane together, and proteins move chemicals across the cell membrane
Explanation:
The fluid mosaic model, which describes the structure of the cell membrane, reveals that it contains both lipids and protein constituents. These components, however, performs different functions in the cell membrane of organisms.
The lipid component of the cell membrane, which comprises of glycolipids and cholesterol, hold the cell membrane together while proteins called transport proteins help move chemicals across the cell membrane.
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
According to the given information, the allele for the red-green colorblindness is inherited in an X linked recessive manner. Let's assume that the allele X^c is responsible for red-green colorblindness. The woman is normal but had a colorblind father (X^cY). Fathers give their X chromosomes to the daughters while their Y chromosome is transmitted to their sons. The sons get their X chromosomes from the mother.
The colorblind father has transmitted the X-linked allele for the red-green colorblindness to his daughter. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is X^cX. The woman would produce two types of eggs: 50 % with X^C and 50% with X. Therefore, 50% of sons of this woman would get X linked allele for the red-green colorblindness and would be affected by the disorder while the rest 50% of her sons will be normal.
