Answer:

Let ‘Xᶜ’ be the recessive allele for colour blindness and ‘X’ be the normal (dominant) allele.

Since Abby's father was colour blind, Abby must be a carrier for the same.

Which means Abby's genotype would be ‘XXᶜ’.

Now, Ryan is not colourblind which means his genotype would be ‘XY’.

Now, talking about their daughter, she would inherit a normal ‘X’ from Ryan and either ‘X’ or ‘Xᶜ’ from Abby.

Which means she wouldn't be colourblind but she might be a carrier of the disorder.

XXᶜ × XY

⬇️ ⬇️

X, Xᶜ X

↘️ ↙️

XX , XXᶜ

Their daughter will have either XX genotype or XXᶜ genotype.

And her chances of being colourblind thus, becomes zero.

Moving up the food chain, the energy available to the organisms decreases due to metabolic heat. (You can add the second law of thermodynamics into it, if you want)

For example, in the rules of tens, the plants start with 100% of the energy but the fi red t level consumers gain 90% of the energy due to the fact energy transfers through heat.

Because of the change is available energy, consumers at the higher levels of the food chain are forced to hunt larger amounts of prey to sub stain themselves.
