Answer #1

The color blindness is an X linked recessive disorder and the turners syndrome is caused due to nondisjunction of the chromosomes ie monosomy loss of an X chromosome. So a woman with turners syndrome will have the color blindness wherein the X chromosome should come from the mother and she wont get the sex chromosome from her father, which indicates that nondisjunction occurred in father. The nondisjunction might have occurred at either Meoisis 1 or Meoisis II.
