4 0

The bird's eye contains a nictitating membrane which is a translucent, semitransparent inner eyelid. It sweeps across the surface of the eye enabling the bird to blink without losing sight of or without blocking their view.

Birds also have two different tear glands. One type of tear gland is located along the lower eyelid while the other is located at the base of the nictitating membrane. The second tear gland lubricates the bird's eyes whenever the nictitating membrane blinks.

Normal vision woman whose father is color-blind will be $X^CX^c$

Color-blind male will be $X^cY$

$X^CX^c$ x $X^cY$

Progeny: $X^CX^c, X^CY, X^cX^c, X^cY$ (See the attached image)

Out of the 2 male progeny, 1 is affected for color-blindness while the other is not affected. This gives a 50% probability that a son of the couple will be color-blind.
