Vedclass · Answer

(D) For a daughter to be colourblind,she must inherit the recessive gene for colourblindness from both parents. Since colourblindness is an $X$-linked recessive trait,the father must be colourblind $(X^cY)$ to pass the affected $X^c$ chromosome to his daughter. The mother must be either a carrier $(X^cX)$ or colourblind $(X^cX^c)$ to pass the other affected $X^c$ chromosome to the daughter. Therefore,if the mother is a carrier and the father is colourblind,there is a $50\%$ chance of producing a colourblind daughter.
