Question

If you are a colour-blind male (Xc Y) and you have children with a carrier female (Xc X), what percentage of your children could be colourblind OR carriers? ***c means that chromosome has the colourblind gene***

Answer 1

0.50% are colour blind and 0.25% are carrier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Colour blindness is a common hereditary condition which is usually passed down from parents to offspring This is a X linked disorder

Given:

male - Xc Y ( color blind)

Female- Xc X ( carrier)

gametes, Xc, Y * Xc , X

F1 generation:

Xc Xc, Xc X, Xc Y, XY

So Xc Xc female and Xc Y male are colour blind because this disease is X- linked recessive disease,

and Xc X female is carrier,

XY male is normal.
