This is determined through a punnett square, which shows the possible combinations of the parents' alleles According to this punnett square (table above), the son of a woman who carries the color blindness trait and a male with normal vision has a 50% chance of being colorblind Summary each individual has two sex chromosomes Females have two x chromosomes (xx), while males have one x chromosome and one y chromosome (xy) It works on the principles of mendelian genetics, offering visual representation and probabilistic understanding of genetic inheritance, particularly for traits linked to the sex chromosomes x and y.

In this problem, a male with colorblindness marries a female who is not colorblind but carries the (b) allele Using a punnett square, determine the genotypic and phenotypic probabilities for their potential offspring.
