The bald phenotype which is due to a dominant autosomal gene the expression of which is sex influenced can often be distinguished at a relatively early age. Red-green colorblindness is due to a recessive X-linked gene.  A non-bald, red-green colorblind man marries a non-bald, normal visioned woman whose mother was bald and whose father was red-green colorblind.  What is the probability of the following in the progeny? Bald girls Normal visioned progeny Bald, normal visioned boys? Red-green colorblind children Red-green colorblind trait among the daughters Bald phenotype among the sons?
