Question 20
Colorblindness is a sex-linked recessive condition that is carried on the X chromosome. A woman who is heterozygous for color-blindness has a child with a man who is NOT colorblind. Using a Punnett square (I suggest) determine what kind of offspring they could possibly have, and identify the predicted outcome from the choices below:
1 male colorblind, 1 female colorblind
0 males colorblind; 1 female colorblind
2 males colorblind, 1 female colorblind
1 male colorblind, 0 females colorblind
2 males colorblind, 0 females colorblind
0 males colorblind, 0 females colorblind
