Question

A normal woman marries a man whose mother is colorblind. What is the probability of their children having color blindness? What percent is phenotypically normal

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
