Color Blindness Inheritance: Predicting Offspring Genotypes & Phenotypes
If a color blind woman (XcXc) marries a man with normal color vision (XcY), their offspring's genotype and phenotype would depend on the gender of the children.
1. Daughters:
- Genotype: XcXc (carrier of color blindness)
- Phenotype: Normal vision (due to one copy of the normal Xc gene)
2. Sons:
- Genotype: XcY (normal vision)
- Phenotype: Normal vision (no copies of the color blind gene)
In summary, all daughters of the couple would be carriers of color blindness but with normal vision, while all sons would have normal vision.
