Two normal people have a colorblind son.What is the genotype of the dad?What is the genotype of the mom?What is the genotype ratio among their children?What is the phenotype ratio among their children?
Given that the parents are not colorblind, but the son is, this means the mother must be a carrier because only females can be carriers for colorblindness.
This means that:
1. The genotype of the dad is XAY
2. The genotype of the mom is XAXa
Let's make a Punnett's square:
This means that the ratios would be as follows:
3. Genotype ratios:
25% XAXA
25% XAY
25% XAXa
25% XaY
4. Phenotype ratios:
25% Normal female
25% Normal male
25% Carrier female with normal vision
25% Colorblind male
