It could be inherited by the parents, that would be very likely, If the parents don't have color blindness, its not very likely.

What is the probability of color blindness if the father is color blind and the mother carries the trait?

All daughters are normal, half the sons are color blind. The above answer is incorrect. Half of the daughters are color blind and half of the sons are color blind. Since the father always donates color blindness, it is up to the mother in each case (in the son's case, the father is irrelevant) to determine if the child is color blind or not. Since she is a carrier, the chance is 50-50.


A mother has one allele for color blindness and one allele for nomal vision what is the probability that her gamete will have the allele for color blindness?

Color Blindness is x-linked recessive. Therefore, it could not be heterozygous; the daughter would not be colorblind, but rather have normal vision.


Explain how red-green color blindness is inherited?

well actually i very much disagree, i believe that color blindness is a sex-linked trait; therefore, a girl (written Xc ) who receives one recessive allele for one red-green blindness WILL NOThave the trait, however a boy who receives one recessive WILL be recessive.

What percentages can be expected in the offspring of cross between a female carrier for color blindness and a male with normal color vision?

50% probability that the sons produced from this union will be color blind. 50% probability that a son will not have the disease. 50% probability that a daughter will be a carrier of the allele for color blindness. 50% probability that a daughter will not be a carrier. Phenotypically this would be 1male color blind, 1 male not color blind, 1 female carrier and 1 female non-carrier. Assuming that the probability of male and female offspring is identical...this would be 25% of each genotype mentioned above. Based on phenotype, without regard to sex the percentages of normal to colorblind would be 75% to 25% with the 25% displaying the characteristic all being male.


Are all women carriers of color blindness?

Is color blindness evident at birth or late onset?

Most of the time, color blindness is first realized at a child's first formal vision examination, usually between the ages of 8 and 10. If the color blindness is severe (most of the time, it is a relatively mild form) then an alert teacher may suspect it at an earlier age.
