Color blindness in human is a sex-linked recessive trait. If two individuals with normal color vision have a color blind

This outcome reflects metabolic engineering and inheritance, where exogenous gene introduction and pathway extension enable trait improvement. Option B captures this correctly because it demonstrates metabolic extension and combinatorial biosynthesis, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in genetics and biotechnology.

Ref: Griffiths et al., Introduction to Genetic Analysis, 11th Edition, Chapter 5, discusses metabolic pathways, recombinant DNA technology, metabolic extension and Golden Rice as pathway engineering for vitamin A production.

Which of the following is a correct statement about sex-linked inheritance?

Since males have only one X chromosome, X-linked recessive disorders are more common in them. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.
