Answer:
Probability that the son will be:
color-blind = 1/2
blue eyed = 1/8
blue eyed and color-blind = 1/16
Explanation:
Mother : BbXcX
Father : BbXY
Colorblindness is X linked recessive trait hence will be caused when the son has XcY genotype.
XcX X XY :
Xc X
X XcX XX
Y XcY XY
Half of the sons will have normal vision and other half will be colorblind hence, there is 1/2 probability that the son will be colorblind.
Eye color is autosomal trait and blue color will be produced when the child has bb genotype.
Bb X Bb :
B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
1/4 of the children will have blue eyes. Since half of the children are expected to be males, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 sons are expected to have blue eyes.
Probability of a son being blue eyed and color blind will be :
1/8 * 1/2 = 1/16
Answer:
An example of codominance would be when a red and white flower breed a pink flower.
The species has a higher chance of survival as there are 3 plant types, even if 2 of those die out, there's a portion of the purple gorillas that can still eat the remaining plant type
Answer:
If the immune system has a destructive and autoimmune response, it produces specific antibodies, which bind to the receptors of the thyroid cells and destroy them thinking that they are antigens or factors not characteristic of the body.
Explanation:
This happens because the thyroid cells do not present on its surface the histocompatibility complex, which is a surface protein similar to the proper and non-proper "seal", that is, it is the demarcation by which the antibodies and the cells are guided to recognize what foreign to the organism.
The histocompatibility complex is sometimes absent or rather mutated, thus generating that these cells are considered not their own and that the antibody is a receptor in order to generate the autolysis pathway or even the immune defense pathway.
