    A Punnett square is used to determine the possible genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from parents of known genotypes. According to the document, color blindness is determined by a gene on the X chromosome, with the dominant allele for regular vision and recessive allele for color blindness. A Punnett square shows that if a woman homozygous for regular vision mates with a color blind man, all sons will be carriers of the color blindness gene. If a heterozygous woman mates with a man with regular vision, half the sons will be color blind and half the daughters will be carriers.

    1. Color blindness is determined by a gene that is located on the X chromosome.
    The dominant allele “XC” codes for regular vision. The recessive allele “Xc”
    codes for color blindness. The Y chromosome does not carry the gene for
    color blindness.

    Complete a Punnet Square that shows what would happen if a woman who is
    homozygous for regular vision mates with a man who has color blindness.

    How many children are carriers of the color blindness gene?


    Complete a Punnet Square that shows what would happen if a woman who is
    heterozygous for colorblindness mates with a man who has regular vision.

    What is the gender of the children who are color blind?

    How many children are carriers of the colorblindness gene?
