9. In human beings, the gene for red-green colorblindness (r) is sex-linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal-visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. a. What is the genotype of the woman's father? b. What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a non-freckled, normal visioned girl
