The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of children when a color-blind woman marries a normal man, we need to understand the genetics behind color blindness, which is an X-linked recessive trait. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes**: - A color-blind woman has the genotype XcXc (where Xc represents the X chromosome with the color blindness allele). - A normal man has the genotype XY (where X is the normal X chromosome and Y is the Y chromosome). 2. **Gamete Formation**: - The color-blind woman can only produce gametes with the Xc chromosome (Xc). - The normal man can produce two types of gametes: one with the normal X chromosome (X) and one with the Y chromosome (Y). 3. **Possible Combinations**: - When these gametes combine, the possible offspring genotypes are: - From Xc (mother) and X (father): XcX (female, carrier) - From Xc (mother) and Y (father): XcY (male, color blind) 4. **Analyze the Offspring**: - The female offspring (XcX) will be carriers of the color blindness trait but will not express the trait because they have one normal X chromosome. - The male offspring (XcY) will express color blindness because they have only one X chromosome, which carries the color blindness allele. 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the children of a color-blind woman and a normal man will be: - Color-blind sons (XcY) - Carrier daughters (XcX) ### Final Answer: The nature of the children will be color-blind sons and carrier daughters. ---
