A mother that carries the colorblind alleles and a father with normal vision can have children that are only?

The mother has two defective X chromosomes for color. The father has a normal X (and Y).
If they have children and they are girls, the girls will have one defective X and a normal X. That normal X from dad will be enough so she will see color.
If a boy, he will have a defective X and a normal Y but will be color blind. Only in the case of one normal X and a defective X would a child have normal vision. The Y chromosome doesn't have any genes for color.

Why is a son who receives the allele for color blindness from his mother always colorblind?
Being Colorblind means you recieved 2 recessive alleles from you parents. So that means the mother and father must of had 2 recessive alleles. Also Colorblindness is more common in males.
What is the probability that the son is colorblind if the moms colorblind and the father isn't?
100
Is either the mother or father in B colorblind?
Father
If a color blind man has a color blind daughter then the mother has to be color blind as well?
The father has to be colorblind for the daughter to be colorblind because both X chromosomes must have the colorblindness gene in females because the colorblind gene is recessive. If only the mother is color deficient, then she merely passes on the gene to one of the X chromosomes in a female. If both the mother and father are both colorblind, then both X chromosomes in the female are effected and the female is colorblind. There are two scenarios in which a daughter may be born colorblind. 1. The father is colorblind and the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene. The daughter will be either colorblind or a carrier of the colorblind gene. 2. The father and mother are both colorblind. If this is the case, then all of the children will be born colorblind.
What circumstances can the son of a colorblind father also be colorblind?

If a color blind woman marries a man with normal vision the children will be?
there is a 50% chance that the child will be colorblind. If it is a boy, it will be colorblind, but if it is a girl, it will only be a carrier. Mother's chromosome is XrXr and Father's Chromosome is XRY, which means the children's genotypes will be XRXr if girl and XrY if a boy.
Father O negative mother ab positive?
Theoretically : If mother AB+ ( with hetero alleles Rh+Rh-) children are : A+,A-,B+,B- If mother AB+ ( with homo alleles Rh+Rh+) children are : 100% A+,B+
If a normal woman whose father is color-blind marries a colorblind man what are their chances of having a colorblind son?
50%
How is colorblindness transferred from the parent to the child?
We know that if a father is colorblind and the mother is neither colorblind nor a carrier, then the sons will not be colorblind. So, using logic, that means that the father can't cause a son to become colorblind. Process of elimination would point towards whenever a son is colorblind that it comes from the mother. A diagram explaining how colorblindness is inherited can be viewed in the related links.
When performing a DNA test to establish maternity do all the alleles have to match?
No, because some of the alleles will match the father; however, all of the alleles must either match one of the mother's alleles or one of the father's alleles.
How Do recessive and dominant alleles get filled into a punnet square?
here is an example: key: dark hair - H (dominant) light hair - h (recessive) father: Hh mother: hh father's alleles: H & h mother's alleles: all h punnet square: father's __H____l____h_____ Mothers: h l Hh l hh The father's dominant H allele combines with the mother's h allele produces Hh The father's reccesive h allele combins with the mother's h allele produces hh therefore the possible combinations of alleles are Hh and hh. 1/2 of their children will have dark hair and 1/2 of their children will have light hair
If a color blind male who has normal clotting blood marries a female who is a carrier of hemophilia and has normal color vision could they have a color blind child?
In short, hemophilia has nothing to do with colorblindness, but YES, they could have a colorblind child if she is a carrier for the colorblindness gene. Color blindness is an X-linked trait. That means it is carried in the X chromosome, which differentiates whether a baby will be a girl or a boy. Women have two X chromosomes (XX), and men have an XY combination. If a woman is a carrier for color blindness, only one of her chromosomes will be affected (we'll call it a little "x"), and for that reason she will not be colorblind. Men, on the other hand, only have one X chromosome, so any time they carry the colorblindness gene, they will be colorblind. A woman will carry the colorblindness gene if: a. Her father is colorblind b. Any of her offpsring are colorblind She may carry the colorblindness gene if: a. Male family members (brothers, uncles, etc.) are colorblind A child inherits one chromosome from each parent. He/She will get an X chromosome from his/her mother, and an X from her father (if a girl) or a Y from his father (if a boy). So, If a woman has normal vision (assuming she does not have a family history of colorblindness), XX, and a man is colorblind, xY, they have several different chances for different offspring: Xx (a normal girl who carries the colorblindness gene) XY (a normal boy) Xx (a normal girl who carries the colorblindness gene) XY (a normal boy) The short answer is that ALL CHILDREN WILL HAVE NORMAL VISION. However, all daughters will be CARRIERS, meaning they can pass colorblindness on to their children.
