The figure below shows a pedigree chart for red-green colorblindness in a human family. The disorder is sex-linked recessive (Xb). Since the genes for the and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, males are more likely to be affected than females.Typically, each individual in a pedigree chart is assigned a number. The genotype for Individual 1 is XbY, and the genotype for Individual 4 is XBXb, the genotype for Individual 24 is XbXb.According to the information provided, what is the genotype of the unknown individual number 25?
