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 Joe marries a woman who is a carrier of the color-blind allele, what is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind boy?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
