What percentage of Couple 1’s male offspring will be color blind? What percentage of their female offspring will be color blind?\tCouple 2 comes into your office. The husband is color blind; the wife is homozygous for the normal vision allele.\tCouple 3 comes into your office. The husband is color blind; the wife is heterozygous for the color-blindness allele.\tReview the results you obtained for the female offspring of the three couples.\tBased on your results for the female offspring, predict whether color blindness is a dominant or recessive trait. Explain your reasoning.\tComplete the Punnett squares below to determine the possible genotypes of each couple’s male and female offspring. (X represents the normal color vision allele. X represents the color-blindness allele. Y represents the Y chromosome, which does not carry the color-vision gene.)\tReview the results you obtained from the lab for the female offspring of all three couples. Then, look at the female offspring (the offspring with two X chromosomes) in your three Punnett squares.\tWhat genotype must a female child have in order to be color blind?\tExplain why color blindness occurs more commonly in males than females.\tBased on your Punnett squares, determine whether a son can inherit color blindness from his father. Explain your reasoning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
