Properties of fullerenes:

It is found in soot, interstellar dust and in carbon rich rocks.
They are bad conductors of electricity.
They are magnetic in nature.
They are odourless.

Uses of fullerenes:

They are used as lubricants.
They are used as insulators.
Some forms of fullerenes can conduct heat and electricity. So, they are used as superconductors and semiconductors.

Red-green color blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive (Xc). If a color-blind man marries a woman who is heterozygous f

skad [1K]

Answer:

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Explanation:

The genotype of a color-blind man is X^cY and the genotype of the heterozygous carrier female is X^cX. A cross between X^cY and X^cX would produce a progeny in following ratio=

25% colorblind daughter: 25% colorblind son: 25% carrier daughters with normal vision: 25% normal son.

Therefore, the couple is likely to have 50% normal son and 50% affected son. Likewise, the couple is likely to have 50% normal daughters and 50% colorblind daughters.
