Answer #1

4.

a. To be colour blind one person must have two recessive gene for colour blindness. As I-2 is a colour blind female, her genotype will be cc. Genotype of I-1 will be Cc as he is a carrier for colour blind gene.

b. Yes. It is possible that II-2 and II-4 may have child with normal vision. They both are cc because they are colour blind. They always give their child colour blind gene (c). If they marry normal or carrier female (CC or Cc), their children may have the genotype Cc, and therefore their child will be normal (carrier).

c. III-8 is colour blind , so he has genotype cc. He always give his child c allele (responsible for colour blindness). If his wife donate C allele , their child will be normal (Cc- carrier) and if his wife give c allele to their child, the child will be colourblind (cc).So there is 50% probability that their child have normal vision(Cc).
