Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

The trait is X-linked and recessive. A male only need one recessive allele to be affected while a female needs 2 recessive alleles to be affected.

Let the color vision allele be C.

Ginny is heterozygous, her genotype will be X^C X^c

Harry is color blind, his genotype will be X^c Y

If Ginny and Harry mate, their offspring's genotype will be: X^C X^c, X^C Y, X^c X^c, X^c Y

X^C X^c is a heterozygous female with normal vision

X^C Y normal vision male

X^c X^c color blind female

X^c Y color blind male

Probability of having a color blind child = 1/2

Probability of having a son = 1/2

Probability of having a colorblind son = probability of having a colorblind child and probability of the child being a son

       = 1/2 x 1/2

               = 1/4

The probability of at least one of the children being a colorblind son is 1/4
