If a normal person marries with colour blind female what will be the possibility of normal male child:
- A. 0%

- C. 50%
- D. 75%
Explanation
A colour blind mother carries the defective allele on both her X chromosomes, and a son receives his only X from her, so every son must be colour blind. The daughters each receive a normal X from the father and are carriers with normal vision. This is the clearest illustration of why an X linked recessive trait passes from mother to son.
