Problem #1:Colour-blindness is a recessive trait, a sex-linked disorder in humans. A colour-blind man
(XcbY)havechildren to a woman (XCBXcb)who is a carrier of the disorder. Using the Punnett Square predict the
genotype and phenotype of their children.KEY: XCB = normal Xcb = colour blindness

Problem #2: An ordinary woman (XH XH) force to marry a Prince with Haemophilia (Xh Y) . She was afraid that their
future children might inherit their father’s disease. Help her to find out if she will have a child with Haemophilia.

Lactating is dominant over non-lactating. A cross were made between homozygous bull (male cattle) for non-
lactating(Bull XlYl)is cross breed with heterozygous cow (female cattle) for lactating (Cow XLXl). Using the punnet
square show genotype and phenotype. KEY: L = lactating l = not lactating
