A man who is color-blind marries and has children by a woman who has normal color vision. The woman’s father had normal color vision but her mother was color-blind. Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. What are the chances that this man and woman will give birth to a color-blind girl (restated: of all the possible children, how many would be female and color-blind)?
a.
None
b.
25%

75%
e.
100%
Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X
chromosome. Therefore, it is referred to as a sex-linked disease.
The recessive allele causes the disease. A man with hemophilia
(xhy) marries a woman who is homozygous dominant (XHXH.
A. Illustrate using a Punnett square the probability that their children
will have the disease.
B. Will any of their children have the disease?
C. Predict the probabilities of their children having the disease.
Color blindness is an x-linked recessive disorder. A woman who is a carrier for color blindness has children with a man who is color blind.
Determine the probability that their child will be color blind.
a. 0 %
b. 25%
c. 50%
d. 100%
