Question

What is the genotype of a female who is not color-blind but is a carrier of red-green color blindness? In class my teacher said to put xx for this answer But originally answer Xyc

Answer 1

She is a female so her genotype is XX.

She has normal vision and is not color-blind so she has XC allele.

But she is a carrier of color blindness so she has the recessive Xc allele.

The answer is XCXc.

Answer 2

XCXc

Explanation:

XX because she is female. Since she is not color blind one of the pair has to be XC. Since she is a carrier of color blindness she has to have the recessive gene as well, so the other has to be Xc
