Vedclass · Answer

(A) Colour blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait.Let $X^c$ be the recessive gene for colour blindness and $X$ be the normal gene.Genotype of the man: $X^cY$.Genotype of the woman (homozygous normal): $XX$.Cross: $X^cY 	imes XX$.Offspring genotypes: $X^cX$ (carrier daughter), $X^cX$ (carrier daughter), $XY$ (normal son), $XY$ (normal son).Since all sons receive their $X$ chromosome from the mother, who is homozygous normal, all male children will have normal vision.Therefore, the possibility of colour blindness in their male children is $0$.
