In humans, the allele for normal opsins in the cones of the eyes, C, is dominant to the allele for colour- blindness, c. The trait is X-linked. A woman who is not colour-blind has a father who is colour-blind. If this woman has a child with a man who is colour-blind, what is the probability of them having a colour-blind son? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature. Express your answer as a frequency between 0-1.
