Question

Color blindness in humans is controlled by an X-linked completely recessive allele (Xc), while breast cancer is controlled by an autosomal completely dominant allele, B. A color blind male, who is a heterozygote carrier for breast cancer has three children/n with a normal eyed female (whose mother was color blind), who is homozygote recessive for the breast cancer allele. What is the probability that out of three children, 2 will be color blind males, and not show breast cancer, and one will be a color blind female, who shows breast cancer?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction :-

Color blindness (colour vision deficit) is a condition in which a person's ability to see colour or colour distinctions is impaired. It can make it difficult to do things like pick ripe fruit, dress appropriately, and read traffic lights. Some educational tasks may be more challenging if you are colour blind. However, most color-blind people adapt to their situation.
