The probability that their son exhibits the 'color blind' trait is 0%. It is a type of inheritance linked to the X chromosome.

<h3>Inheritance linked to the X chromosome</h3>

In men, the patterns of inheritance linked to the X chromosome don't follow conventional mendelian inheritance because men have only one X chromosome.

Conversely, women have two X chromosomes, thereby the inheritance pattern resembles Mendelian inheritance.

It is important to highlight that color blindness is a recessive trait on the X chromosome.

In this case, the mother is a carrier, thereby the probability of passing this trait as a carrier to her son is 50%, whereas the father is normal, thereby the probability of passing this trait to his son is 0%.

kiruha [24]

The best way to reduce wind erosion on farm is to plant ground cover in unused fields.

Explanation:

  • Wind erosion is defined as the removal of the top soil from unused barren land by winds.
  • This results in degradation in the soil fertility and renders it unproductive.
  • Roots of plants bind soil particles.
  • Planting ground covers like herbs , shrubs and wild plants on unused land will prevent the exposure of the top soil to the eroding agents and reduce erosion.
