Colour blindness is a X-chromosome linked character.

  1. (a) X+Y × X+X
  2. (b) X+Xc × XY
  3. (c) XcX × XY
  4. (d) X+X × XcY

Correct answer: (c) XcX × XY

Solution

Colour blindness is typically X-linked recessive, so a son is affected if he inherits the mutant X from his mother and a Y from his father. The cross XcX × XY fits this because the mother is a carrier and can pass Xc to sons, producing colour-blind males.
