Rod is colorblind. His mother and father have normal vision, but his maternal grandfather is colorblind. All Rod's other grandparents have normal color vision. Rod has three sisters-Aida, Lorna, and Fe, all with normal color vision. Rod's oldest sister, Aida, is married to a man with normal color vision; they have two children, a colorblind boy and a girl with normal color vision. 5. a. Using correct symbols, draw a pedigree of Rod's family. b. What is the most likely mode of inheritance for color blindness in Rod's family? c. If Rod marries a woman who has no family history of coior blindness, what is the probability that their first child will be a colorblind male?
