A color-blind man has a son with a color-blind female. Will their son be colorblind?
What is a chance that their son will not be colorblind?
% Please explain:
A colorblind man marries a female who is a carrier for colorblindness. What is the probability that they will have a child who is colorblind?
Aaron and Bethany, the parents of Larry, Sarah, Danny, and Brittany, are normal for color blindness. Sarah and Brittany are carriers. Larry and Danny are colorblind. Larry and his wife Donna have three normal sons, Cameron, Calvin, and Carson. Brittany and her husband Mark have one normal daughter (Aria). Aaron’s twin sisters Jasmine and Jessica are carriers. Terry (Larry, Sarah, Danny, and Brittany’s paternal Grandad) is also colorblind. Terry’s wife Tabitha is a carrier. Terry’s father Ashton and mother Audrey are normal, but his twin brothers Thomas and Bryan are colorblind. Bethany’s mother Regina, father Rufus, and Sister Beonka are all normal. Bethany’s maternal grandfather Sam is a carrier, but her maternal grandmother Ruth is normal.
1. Draw a pedigree to show how the trait colorblindness affects the family presented in this story.
2. Label all generations
3. List the names and genotypes of each individual.
