A colorblind man and woman with normal vision whose father was colorblind have a son what is the probability that their son is colorblind?
Make a punnet square with the mother above, her genotype would be: X^B X^b, and the father to the left whose genotype is X^b Y.The probability of having a colorblind CHILD is 50%. The probability of them having a SON is 50%. Since we are asked what the probability of their SON being colorblind, it is 50% as well. The reason is because the chance of having a colorblind son, among sons only, (according to the punnet square) is 50%.
