QUESTION 4. Red-green color blindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner. Joe is red-green color blind. Joe's mother and father both have normal vision, but his mother's father (i.e., Joe's maternal grandfather) is color blind. All of Joe's other grandparents have normal color vision. Joe has three sisters (Patty, Betsy, and Lora), all with normal color vision. Patty (Joe's oldest sister) is married to a man with normal color vision; they have two children, a 9-year-old color-blind boy and a 4-year-old girl with normal color vision. Joe marries a woman who is a carrier of the color-blind allele; they are expecting their first child. Patty & her husband are expecting their third child. L4.9 Q4 Homework • Unanswered Which of the following scenarios has a greater probability of occurring and by how much? Scenario 1: Joe's first child will be a color-blind boy. Scenario 2: Patty's third child will be a color-blind boy.
