Why is color blindness more frequent in boys?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

The reason is the gene is located on the X-chromosome. Since men only posses one X-chromosome they are more likely to be affected as they only need to have 1 defective gene. Considering women have 2 X-chromosomes they would need to have the defective gene on BOTH chromosomes to suffer from colour blindness.

As for the above responses: Women have 2 X-chromosomes there is no garuntee which one she pass to her son, so the only way a women will know for sure if she is passing on colour blindness to her son/daughter is if she herself is colour blind (ie 2 defective genes)

What makes a tire bulge?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

2 years ago

the tire is only a month old. I had a blow out a month ago, so I replaced the tire. I asked the service place to check the rim and they said it was fine. I do not recall hitting a pothole or a curb with the new tire, however, I took it to pep boys and they said the rim was cracked.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters

You have a broken steel/fiber ply belt in the sidewall of the tire. Normaly this is caused by two things, a manufacturing defect or a heavy impact to the tire side wall (like hitting a pot hole). You need to get the tire replaced as soon as possible as it is a huge safety hazard because the integrity of the tire has been broken (hence the bulge as it starts to loose shape). This might cause the tire to blow making you to loose control.

Go to either Costco (my favorite) or Sams club to get another tire. Because they have lifetime balancing and rotation it is well worth paying for a membership. I would also highly recomend getting Michelin tires (for cars or tight duty trucks) or BF Goodrich tires (owned by Michelin – for SUVs or truck tires)

Make sure to get it fixed right away!

What is the difference between a light brown hair dye and light ash brown?

February 27th, 2009 No comments

Does anyone know the answer? Once someone told me ash hides the red? Is that true? Thanks in advance!!!

The color wheel is broken down into 6 different primary and secondary colors. Anything with an ash base means that the primary pigmentation of that particular color is from the cool side of the wheel and it

Its a brand new car, and is black in colour. there are two scratches, one on the passenger door about 50cm and the other on the bonnet (hood). My car was towed away last week and when I went to getit back I saw these two scratches.

It seems to me that if the towing agency caused the scratches, they should pay a detailer to remove them. Just towing your car away does not give them the right to damage your car, I would report it to your Insurance company and get them to help you out. After all, it is vandalism and should be covered by
