Color blindness is an X-linked recessive disease. A female and a male with normal vision have 4 children. The phenotypes of the children are listed below: 2 Colorblind males, 1 normal vision female, one normal vision male. Given these results, the female must be a carrier for colorblindness. True False
A man with X-linked color blindness marries a woman with no history of color blindness in her family. The daughter of this couple marries a normal man, and their daughter also marries a normal man. What is the chance that this last couple will have a child with color blindness? If this couple has already had a child with color blindness, what is the chance that their next child will be color blind?

What are the chances of her offspring being afflicted by this disorder assuming a healthy father?     100% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring   50% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring   0% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring   25% chance for male offspring; ~25% chance for female offspring   50% chance for male offspring; ~50% chance for female offspring
