Question
- if a colorblind son from the previous problem has children with a woman with normal color vision (homozygous dominant). what percentage of the sons is colorblind? make a punnett square to find out.
- what would be one of the possible sets of parental genotypes that produce a colorblind daughter?
Step1: Determine genotypes
Color - blindness is X - linked recessive. Let $X^B$ be the normal allele and $X^b$ be the color - blind allele. A color - blind son has genotype $X^bY$. A homozygous dominant woman has genotype $X^BX^B$.
Step2: Create Punnett square
| $X^B$ | $X^B$ | |
|---|---|---|
| $Y$ | $X^BY$ | $X^BY$ |
Step3: Analyze sons' genotypes
The genotypes of sons are $X^BY$. None of the sons are color - blind.
For question 8:
A color - blind daughter has genotype $X^bX^b$. One possible set of parental genotypes is a color - blind father ($X^bY$) and a carrier mother ($X^BX^b$).
