Chloe has a family history of colorblindness. Corry, her partner, is affected by colorblindness. Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive condition that has the alleles XB which means -unaffected and dominant- and Xb which means -affected and recessive-. Chloe’s mom was affected, but her dad was not. Her partner Corry is also affected. (a)What is the probability that if Chloe and Corry were to have a daughter that she would be affected? (b)Also, what are the chances that if they had a son that he would be affected? Answer (a) and (b) by creating a pedigree and punnet squares

Communication

Communication is a method of transferring information between two persons or organisms. Communication is possible using mutually understood behaviors such as signs, symbols, or language. In the year 1980, S. F. Scudder proposed communication theory. According to his ideas, all living beings on the earth communicate, but the methods of communication differ. Communication skills are now part of soft skills.
