The chance of a diabetic baby born to parents who are both heterozygous normal depends on the sex. If the baby is a boy, there is a 50% chance while if it is a girl, there is a 25% chance.

Which parental pair could produce females with colorblindness?
Yes. Two normal-visioned parents can produce a color blind child only if both the parents have are heterozygous. To determine the phenotypes of the parents, you will have to look at their parents.
What is the genotype of two normal parents who have a child with cystic fibrosis?
The genotype would have to be homozygous recessive if the child was completely effected by the disease. The "normal" paretns would have to have heterozygous recessive genotypes. This makes sense since the allele that causes sickle cell shows incomplete dominance when present with a normal allele in a pair. The "normal" parents actually would have a mixture of sickle cell shaped red blood cells combined with normal shaped ones. The carrier parents does not display symptoms of the disease since the regular red blood cells alone can fill the body's need for oxygen under normal circumstances. The only time the cArrier would notice would be under times of extreme oxygen demand, such as a sprint.
Will a heterozygous female with hemophilia have blood that will clot normally?
Yes, because Hemophilia is recessive (if you have a normal allele, you won't have hemophilia, and heterozygous means that you have one normal and one abnormal allele).
Do all frame overo horses carry one lethal gene?
The Overo allele is only lethal when the foal inherits a copy from both parents. A heterozygous foal is a normal frame overo.
What is normal blood sugar and how can one get this?
The normal blood sugar for a non-diabetic person is below 5.7%. If you do not have this and you haven't been diagnosed as an diabetic, go to your doctor and they will advise you on how to proceed.
Is it true that people who are heterozygous recessive allele but who have a normal phenotype eill not pass the harmful recessive allele to their kids?
It depends on the genotype of the childs other parent. If your partner is heterozygous as well then there is a 25% chance your child will be homozygous recessive. If they are homozygous dominant then none of your children will have the phenotype of the recessive trait. They will just possibly be carriers of the recessive allele.
Individuals heterozygous for sickle-cell anemia appear normal and are resistant to what disease?
malaria
Is it possible for heterozygous parents of normal height to have only offspring with achondroplasia?
Yes, though it's rare. For each child the odds of that happening genetically is 25%) so to calculate the odds of n children of heterozygotic parents having that condition would be (1/4)n
What percentage of the offspring of a normal heterozygous (Dd) dog and a deaf dog (dd) would be expected to have normal hearing?
Fyugugy
What would a genetic counselor tell parents who had cystic fibrosis or were carries of the cystic fibrosis about the chances of their children having cystic fibrosis?
If both parents are carriers then the child has a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis. If one parent has CF and the other the other was just a carrier then the child has a 50% chance of having CF. If one parent has CF and the other has two normal genes then there is no chance of the child having CF. If one parent is a carrier and the other has two normal genes then there is no chance of the child having CF. If both parents have CF then there is a 100% chance that the child will also have CF.
Is it normal for your blood sugar to go up and down if you are not diabetic?
Yes!
What are is the percentages of a child not having cystic fibrosis with parents who both have the trait?
If both parents are just carriers of the gene that causes CF then there is a 75% chance that the child will not have CF. To break it down farther... 25% chance that they will have CF. 50% that they will be a carrier. 25% that they will have two normal genes.
