Answer:
50% chance of their son being colorblind
Explanation:
A Punett square for the man’s mom and dad shows that he definitely has colorblindness and his genotype is XcY
A Punnett square for the woman shows she is a carrier for colroblindness and her genotype is XcX
The chance of having a son is 50% and the chance of that son having colroblinness is 50%
Answer:
X linked inheritance is one of the mechanisms of the inheritance which is associated with the mutation of the gene present on the X chromosome.
The characteristics of the X linked recessive inheritance that must be observed in the pedigree analysis will be-
1. X linked trait is always passed from the mother to the sons (females to males)
2. The males (XY) are usually affected by the gene as only one copy of the recessive gene in males can show its effect.
3. Females are the carrier of the disease but they are not affected by the condition.
