Girl of normal vision whose father was colorblind marries a man of normal vision whose father was also colourblind. The sons of this marriage would be
Options
- AAll normal visioned
- BAll colourblind
- C colourblind
- D colourblind
Correct answer
C. colourblind
Step-by-step solution
Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait.
Let be the normal allele and be the colorblind allele.
The girl has normal vision but her father was colorblind (X^c YX^cX^C X^cX^C Y), the sons inherit the Y chromosome from the father and one of the X chromosomes from the mother.
The mother produces two types of gametes containing X chromosomes: and in equal proportion.
Therefore, the sons will have genotypes (normal vision) (colorblind) in a ratio.
Thus, of the sons will be colorblind.
