Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 11RQ
Assume that right-handedness (R) is genetically dominant over left-handedness (r) in humans, and that brown eyes (B) are genetically dominant over blue (b). A right-handed, blue-eyed man marries a right-handed, brown-eyed woman. Their two children are (1) right handed, blue eyed and (2) left handed, brown eyed. The man marries again, and this time the woman is right handed and brown eyed. They have 10 children, all right handed and brown eyed. What are the probable genotypes of the man and his two wives?

In humans, dark hair (D) is dominant over blondness (d), and color blindness (c) is a sex-linked recessive trait. A woman has a blond brother, a blond mother, and a dark-haired father. Her brother and her parents have normal vision. She bears the following three children by her blond, normal-visioned husband: a dark-haired son with normal vision, a dark-haired daughter with normal vision, and a dark-haired color blind son.
What is the probability that her next (fourth) child will be a colorblind boy.
