In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles, while color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type B and have normal vision produce a son who is color blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a male and has normal vision and is type O? explain your answer

Answer #1

Based on the information, both are heterozygous for blood type B and female is heterozyogous for colorblindness, male is normal for colorblindness.

XC Xc ; IB i (female) x (male) XC Y; IB i ------------------Parents

XC Xc x XC Y

XC Y
XC XC XC XC Y
Xc XC Xc Xc Y

XCXC (1/4), XC Y (1/4), XC Xc (1/4) & Xc Y (1/4)

IB i x IB i

IB i
IB IB IB IB i
i IB i i i

IB IB (1/4), IB i(1/2) & ii (1/4)

The probability that their next child will be a male and has normal vision and is type O = XCY; ii = ¼ x ¼ = 1/16
