Summary Introduction

To explain: The chances that a color-blind male and carrier female would produce a color-blind son.

Introduction: There are two types of genetic diseases: autosomal diseases and sex-linked diseases. The sex-linked diseases are inherited on the basis of defected or mutant protein on X or Y chromosome.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The chances that a color-blind male and carrier female would produce a color-blind daughter.

Red green colorblind as is a sex linked trait if a carrier female has children with a normal Male what are the chances of their offspring will be colorblind?
Purple Hair is dominant. Blue hair is recessive. One parent is heterozygous; the other parent has blue hair.  A.) What is the probability of them having a blue-haired child?
A woman without red-green colorblindness and with a normal chin, whose mother was colorblind, marries a cleft-chinned, non-colorblind man whose mother had a normal chin. Recall that red-green colorblindness is sex-linked recessive, but mid-chin fissure (cleft) is autosomal dominant. What are the expected phenotypic ratios of the children? Show your work.
