If the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene (XcX) and the father has normal color vision, the probability of their child being colorblind is 50%. This is because the child has a 50% chance of inheriting the Xc chromosome from the mother and developing colorblindness.

A male who is colorblind marries a heterozygous womanWhat percent of their total children will be color-blind?

NOW. Colourblindness we will assume, is a Sex-Linked Disorder. Hence, the sex chromosomes are involved in determinig the phenotypes of the children. XY --male XX--female XbY--colourblind male XBXb --normal female Cross: (parents) Xby * XBXb F1 progeny/offspring XBXb, XbXb, XBY, XbY 50 % of the children will be colourblind. This is a very simple question. You also need to clarify within the question if it is sex linked or autosomal.


Can a blood type b negative man father a blood type a positive child?

Yes, it is possible for a blood type B negative man to father a blood type A positive child. The ABO blood type system is inherited from both parents, with each parent passing on one of their two ABO genes to their child. This means that the child could inherit an A gene from the mother and a B gene from the father, resulting in a blood type of A positive.

A womens father is colorblind She marries a colorblind man Will there son or daughter be colorblind?

Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. This means girls (who have the sex chromosomes XX) must have a colorblind X from dad and a colorblind X from mom. Boys only need to have one colorblind X to be colorblind because they have sex chromosomes XY (and have only 1 X). If the dad has it, he has the colorblind X. If the daughter has it, she must have gotten her mom's colorblind X. If the mom is colorblind, then every child they have will be colorblind. If the mom is not colorblind, then she must be a carrier - she must have 1 normal X and 1 colorblind X. Mom is either colorblind (with 2 colorblind Xs) or she is a carrier. Dad is definitely colorblind.
