Sarah and Brittany are carriers. Larry and Danny are colorblind. Larry and his wife Donna have three normal sons, Cameron, Calvin, and Carson. Brittany and her husband Mark have one normal daughter (Aria). Aaron’s twin sisters Jasmine and Jessica are carriers. Terry (Larry, Sarah, Danny, and Brittany’s paternal Grandad) is also colorblind. Terry’s wife Tabitha is a carrier. Terry’s father Ashton and mother Audrey are normal, but his twin brothers Thomas and Bryan are colorblind. Bethany’s mother Regina, father Rufus, and Sister Beonka are all normal. Bethany’s maternal grandfather Sam is a carrier, but her maternal grandmother Ruth is normal. 1.
