The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the offspring of a colorblind female and a normal male, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Genetics of Colorblindness Colorblindness is a sex-linked recessive trait, which means it is carried on the X chromosome. A colorblind female has two copies of the colorblind allele (XcXc), while a normal male has one normal allele (XY). ### Step 2: Determine the Genotypes of the Parents - The colorblind female's genotype: XcXc (where Xc represents the colorblind allele). - The normal male's genotype: XY (where X represents the normal vision allele). ### Step 3: Determine the Gametes Produced by Each Parent - The colorblind female can only produce Xc gametes. - The normal male can produce X and Y gametes. ### Step 4: Set Up a Punnett Square To visualize the potential offspring, we can set up a Punnett square: | | X (from male) | Y (from male) | |---------|----------------|----------------| | Xc (from female) | XcX (carrier daughter) | XcY (colorblind son) | | Xc (from female) | XcX (carrier daughter) | XcY (colorblind son) | ### Step 5: Analyze the Results From the Punnett square, we can see: - 50% of the offspring will be carrier daughters (XcX). - 50% of the offspring will be colorblind sons (XcY). ### Conclusion Thus, the answer to the question is that all sons will be colorblind (XcY). ### Final Answer **All sons are colorblind.** ---
