Q. If a colourblind woman marries a normal visioned man, their sons will be

A) All normal visioned
B) One half colourblind and one half normal
C) Three-fourth colourblind and one-fourth normal
D) All colourblind
Explanation

Colour blindness is a disease, in which a person is unable to differentiate between red and green colour. The gene for this disease is located on the X-chromosome. So, if a colourblind woman marries a normal man, it will produce all the sons colourblind (X ୡY). In case of a carrier woman, the probability of a colourblind and normal son is 50 : 50
