To solve the problem of determining the probability of color blindness in the children of a normal visioned woman (whose father is color blind) and a normal visioned man, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Genetics of Color Blindness Color blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait, which means the gene responsible for color blindness is located on the X chromosome. A normal vision allele is dominant (X^N), while the color blindness allele is recessive (X^c). ### Step 2: Determine the Genotypes of the Parents - The woman has normal vision but her father is color blind. This means she must carry one normal vision allele and one color blindness allele (X^N X^c). - The man has normal vision, and since color blindness is recessive, he must have two normal vision alleles (X^N Y). ...
