The answer is x-linked recessive. It is apparent that the color blindness affects the males hence it's caused by a sex-linked recessive gene. Males have XY homologous chromosomes. The X sister chromosome has more genes than the Y sister chromosome, hence most males are hemizygous for sex linked genes. This means that even recessive genes on the X chromosome are likely to be expressed in males.

How do you show the probability of the genotype for a male and a female if they decide to have children?

lisov135 [29]

Answer: The genotype of a female is XX while that of a male is XY. The probability of them having a male child is 1/2 while the probability of having a female child is 1/2.

Explanation: Normally, females have two X chromosomes (XX) while males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (XY). In a cross between a man and a woman, there is fifty percent chances of having a female child and also fifty percent chances of having a male child. Therefore, the probability of having a female child is 1/2 while the probability of having a male child is also 1/2.
