1. Mr and Mrs Burdesha are planning to start a family. However, Mr Burdesha is concerned that, as his brother was diagnosed with Colour blindness, he may be a carrier. Their GP explains how Mr Burdesha may carry the faulty gene for colour blindness using a Punnett square. Using Cc to represent a carrier, create a Punnett square using the template below to explain to Mr Burdesha his chances of inheriting the gene from his parents if both of them were carriers of colour blindness.
