Complete question:
Punnet squares for genes found in sex chromosomes are unique in that the pattern of inheritance of these traits is gender-specific. For example, examine the following Punnet square for color blindness, a trait found in the X chromosome (Y chromosome carry only a few genes but they do not possess enough coded information to initiate the development of the male).
Xcb represents the X chromosome carrying the color blindness trait. The allele for color blindness is recessive to the normal form of the gene (X).
Punnet square:
Mother
Xcb X
Father X X Xcb X X
Y Xcb Y X Y
Do male and female offspring possess the same likelihood of carrying the colorblindness trait in their genotype?
Answer:
<em>YES. Male and female offspring </em><u><em>will have the same likelihood</em></u><em> of carrying the colorblindness trait in their genotype. </em>
Explanation:
Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the artached files.
