A color-blind man marries a woman with normal vision whose father was color-blind. Remember that color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Hint: see figure 12.7 in book.
A) What is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind daughter?
B) What is the probability that their first son will be color-blind?
Can a son be a carrier for an X-linked trait? Explain.
Could a woman who expresses the x-linked color-blind trait have a son with normal vision?
