Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Heterozygous females have normal color vision but are carriers of the allele for red-green color blindness. I II III 21 2324 IV 37 Based on the information presented in the pedigree, select all of the females that are known carriers of red-green color blindness.
