Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.

D. The Peyer’s patches can release B cells to destroy Listeria
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance in the body by collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream.
- It also helps defend the body against infection by supplying disease-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
- <u>The lymph contains a high number of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. These cells fight infection and destroy damaged or abnormal cells</u>.
<span>If I were attempting to date a rock sample that I suspect to be incredibly old, i would use radioactive isotopes with a long half life. When dating rocks and fossils to discover approximately how old they are, radioisotope dating is used on igneous rocks found near fossils. Things like Uranium 235, which is an unstable radioactive isotope of elements, decays at a constant rate over time so can be useful in determining age.</span>
