Solution
The text you provided seems to be a list of multiple choice questions. Here are the answers:
-
The statement that is not true is: "Both men and women carry two alleles for the colour blindness gene". Men only carry one allele for the color blindness gene because it is located on the X chromosome, and men have only one X chromosome.
-
The genotype of a female carrier of colour blindness is XNXn. This means she has one normal allele (XN) and one colour blind allele (Xn).
-
The genotype of a male with colour blindness is XnY. This means he has the colour blind allele on his X chromosome and a normal Y chromosome.
-
The genotypes of a person with blood group O are IOIO only. This means they have two O alleles.
-
The term ‘codominance’ means that two different alleles of a gene are expressed equally. This means that both alleles have an effect on the phenotype of the organism.
