Solution
The text you provided seems to be a list of multiple choice questions related to genetics. Here are the answers:
-
The statement that is not true is "Both men and women carry two alleles for the colour blindness gene". Men carry only one allele for this 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 carries one normal allele (XN) and one colour blind allele (Xn).
-
The genotype of a male with colour blindness is XnY. This means he carries the colour blind allele on his X chromosome and has no corresponding allele on his Y chromosome.
-
The genotypes of a person with blood group O are IOIO only. This means they carry two O alleles.
-
The term ‘codominance’ means "Two different alleles of a gene are expressed equally". This means that neither allele is dominant or recessive, and both contribute to the phenotype of the organism.
