## Calculator one year ago Genetics: Sex-linked inheritance calculation help

• This Question is Open
1. Calculator

Brown-eyed girl with normal sight get married to the brown-eyed man with normal sight. The father of the girl was blue-eyed and colour-blind. What is F1? It is known that brown eyes are inherited as autosome dominant character and the gene of colour blindness - as recessive and X-linked.

2. Calculator

This is my work, I can't get the answer

3. Calculator

Answers are: ¼ - daughters with brown eyes and normal vision; ¼ - daughters with blue eyes and normal vision; 1/8 – sons with brown eyes and normal vision; 1/8 - sons with brown eyes and daltonism; 1/8 - sons with blue eyes and normal vision; 1/8 - sons with blue eyes and daltonism;

4. Calculator

I've gotten the 1/4 daughters with blue eyes + normal vision, but can't seem to get 1/4 daughter with brown + normal vision

3/8 girls will be brown+normal

You can find this without drawing the punnet square too. For the cross $$\sf BbX^AX$$ (female) $$\times \sf BbXY$$ (male) Probability of brown = 3/4 Probability of female = 1/2 Probability of Normal vision= 1 (color blindness is recessive x-linked, and father has no $$\sf X^A$$ allele) Probability of brown + female + normal vision = $$\sf Large \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{1}=\frac{6}{16}$$ So, 6 among 16 offsprings will be girl+Normal vision+Brown color

7. Calculator

But the answers are 1/4 for daughters with brown eyes and normal vision? Are the answers incorrect?

8. anonymous

its quite complicated but ain't impossible.. the answer is 1/4 for daughters with brown eyes and normal vision...

@harishk , don't just post your answer. It will be better if you back your statement with some valid reason or work out.

There was another possibility, if we take male as $$\sf BBXY$$ and cross it with female $$\sf BbX^AX$$ then probability of females with brown eyes and normal sight comes 1/2
