Step-by-step solution
Cross A: Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A normal homozygous female ( X^C X^C ) and a colorblind male ( X^c Y ) will produce carrier daughters ( X^C X^c ) and normal sons ( X^C Y ). The probability of an affected child is 0 . Cross B: Sickle-cell anaemia is an autosomal recessive trait. A cross between two carriers ( Hb^A Hb^S Hb^A Hb^S ) produces affected offspring ( Hb^S Hb^S ) with a probability of 1/4 . Cross C: Myotonic dystrophy is an autosomal dominant trait. A heterozygous male ( Aa ) and a
