C) 50%
D) 25%

Respuesta :

the answer is A. 100%

When a person who is not able to see colours and differentiate between the colours is suffering from colour blindness. They are not able to differentiate between the blue, red and green colours.

The probability of colourblind male offspring will be:

Option A. 100%

This can be explained as:

  • The cross between the normal and colourblind woman is shown in the attached image below.

  • The male parent would have a normal XY chromosome and the female would have both the XX chromosome with the genes of colourblindness that is [tex]\text{X}^{\text{C}}\text{X}^{\text{C}}[/tex].

  • When a cross will be done then all the male offspring will have the gene of colourblindness on their X chromosome as it gets inherited from the female parent and hence, will be colourblind.

Therefore, 100% of male progeny will be colourblind.
