Question
Joe is color blind. Both his mother and his father have normal vision, but his mother’s father (Joe’s maternal grandfather) is color blind. All Joe’s other grandparents have normal color vision. Joe has three sisters— Patty, Betsy, and Lora—all with normal color vision. Joe’s oldest sister, Patty, is married to a man with normal color vision; they have two children, a 9-year-old color-blind boy and a 4-year-old girl with normal color vision.
Q. If Patty and her husband have another child, what is the probability that
the child will be a color-blind boy?

- Red–green color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive genetic defect. Hence females rarely exhibit the red–green colorblind phenotype but may be carriers of the defective gene. When a narrow beam of red or green light is projected onto some areas of the retina of such a female carrier, she can readily diff erentiate the two colors, but on other areas she has diffi culty in doing so.
