2. Can a color-blind female have a son that has normal vision? Color blindness is caused by a sex-linked recessive allele. Explain. Do the Punnett square. *use N = normal vision and n = color blind over X and Y chromosomes. 3. Muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked trait. What parental genotypes could produce a female with=muscular dystrophy? Do the Punnett square. *use M = normal muscles, and m = muscles missing dystrophin protein over X and Y chromosomes. 4. In humans, red-green color-blindness is due to a recessive gene X^c . Normal vision results from the dominant gene X^c. If a homozygous woman of normal vision marries a color-blind man, what type of vision will be expected in their children?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
