Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Infact the girl with normal vision is carrier because her father is colourblind (daughter of colourblind father are either colourblind or carrier) and when she marries a normal man the possibility of their sons being colourblind is 50% because the genotype of parents is X?X and XY, so only half of the possible combinations of XY have the X-linked recessive genes which exhibit the disease.
