Yоu аre а geneticist meeting with а cоuple. The man is cоlorblind, and the woman is a carrier. They are worried that all their children will be colorblind, and pass on the colorblind trait to their grandchildren. Your job is to educate them about genotypic and phenotypic ratios and reassure them that not all their children will be colorblind. You generate a Punnett Square and begin to discuss sex-linked inheritance and the probabilities of colorblind, non-colorblind, and carrier children. How will you reassure them that not all their children will be colorblind, but also educate them on the probabilities of having colorblind children and carrier children? Use the included Punnett Square, and what you learned about genotypes and phenotypes, Punnett Squares, and phenotypic ratios to educate them on realistic expectations about their future children. Be specific when talking about probabilites of their children being: carriers, colorblind, and non-colorblind. Start by talking about their genotypes, explain what sex-linked genes are, then use the included Punnett Square to explain the phenotypic probabilities of their future children.
