AI Generated Solution

To solve the question about the inheritance of color blindness in a couple with normal vision who have two sons (one colorblind and one with normal vision) and two daughters, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Genetics of Color Blindness Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. This means that the gene responsible for color blindness is located on the X chromosome, and a person needs two copies of the mutated gene (in females) or one copy (in males) to express the trait. ### Step 2: Determine the Genotypes of the Parents Since the couple has normal vision, we can denote their genotypes: - The father must have the genotype **XY** (normal vision). ...
