Color blindness-normal male-color blind female

A normal male (XY) married to another color blind (XcXc) female produces a color blind son (XcY) and a color blind carrier daughter (XcX) in the F1 lineage. Intermarriage between the F1 progeny results in F2 progeny with 1 normal son, 1 normal daughter, 1 color blind son and 1 color blind daughter.

here,

A normal male has a genotype of XY

Genotype XcXc of a color blind woman

The first progeny is F1 and the second progeny is F2

Parents :           ♂     ×             ♀

Phenotype: Normal       color blindness

Genotype :       XY             XcXc

Gamit :        (X) (Y)         (Xc) (Xc)

F1 Generation : XcX XcY

 

Self fertilization : F1×F1

Parents :              ♂         ×     ♀

Phenotype:  color blind      carrier

Genotype :         XcY         XcX

Gamit :          (Xc) (Y)    (Xc) (X)

F2 Generatin (checker board)

Comment: From the checker board, out of 4 children, 1 normal son, 1 normal daughter, 1 color blind son and 1 color blind daughter. Color blindness requires one Xc gene in males and two Xc genes in females.

Phenotypic Ratio : Normal Son : Normal Daughter : Color Blind Son : Color Blind Daughter = 1:1:1:1
