Question

Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder that is passed through generations and can be traced by using a pedigree.

A pedigree is shown. Sam, Bella, Joshua, and Tim have filled-in shapes. Lisa and Monica have half-filled shapes.

Which individuals in the pedigree are identified and labeled carriers for red-green color blindness?
Lisa and Monica
Sam, Tim, Bella, and Joshua
Ben, Jenny, Mike, Carol, Katie, and Chris
Ben and Lisa

Answer 1

They all have the disease. However, carriers are generally consider those who can give the disease, but don’t have it themselves. This would make the answer Lisa and Monica as they have the recessive gene, but only have one allele, meaning they carry the gene for color blindness, but fortunately do not have it due to the dominant allele being normal.

Answer 2

Lisa and monica
