Explain how a colorblind man and a colorblind woman can have a child with normal vision
note: I answered through reasoning of autosomal dominance, but it is known that colorblindness is more often an x-linked mutation. Is there a way to reason such with x-linked dominance/ recessiveness?
he first step in solving this problem requires an examination of the possible genotypes of the parents. As stated color-blindness is a recessive linked trait. So the genotypes of the parents should be:
mother's genotype (normal vision but whose father was color blind) XNXn
She is a carrier because of her heterozygous condition. For the recessive gene to be expressed one must be homozygous for it.
