What is the probability that their first child will be a blue-eyed female who has normal color vision? (Enter the probability as a percent Enter the number only without the percent sig.

Q) In question when a heterozygous brown eyed female who is carrier of colorblindness marries a man who is blue eyed and not colorblind , the probability of their first child to be blue eyed, normal color vision female.
Answer-
In this question Brown color is dominant that is "B" and Blue color is recesssive that is "b", it is an autosomal inheritance .
For colorblindness "Xc " gene is responsible which is a recessive characteristics and "X " is normal gene which is dominant .
colorblindness is a sex linked X linked recessive trait. A person to have colorblindness got to have two genes carrying the colorblindness .
B- Brown(dominant) , b - blue (recessive)
Xc - Colorblind (recessive), X- Normal(dominant)
Heterozygous brown eyed female who is carrier of colorblindness ( Xc X Bb) when marries Blue eyed normal man ( XY bb)
Xc X Bb gives rise to gametes Xc B , Xc b, XB, Xb
And XYbb gives rise to gametes XB,Xb,YB,yb
The punnett square of dihybrid cross of (Xc X Bb) and (XY bb) will be
so from the punnett square it is concluded that having a female child with blue eyes and normal color vision has 1/4 or 25 % chance .
The answer is 25 .
IInd method to calculate the probablity:-
in another process by applying the product rule of probability
The chance of having a blue eyed female which is a autosomal trait , when a heterozygous brown eyed female marries a blue eyed male the chance of having a female with blue eyes are
when Bb(female) crossed with bb (male) the chance of having a bb(female is )
There is 50% chance or 1/2 chance of a female having blue eyes .
And when a female who is a carrier of colorblind (Xc X)marries a normal male (XY) than the chance of having a female with normal vision are
so the chance of a female having normal vision are 50% or 1/2
By applying the product rule to have a female with normal vision and blue eyes (Xc Xbb or XXbb) is
(Probability of bb) * (probablity of XcX or XX) = 1/2 * 1/2= 1/4 or 25% or 25
so as per question guideline answer will be 25.
(Note- XcX and XX are both having normal vision bbecause a female to be colorblind it requires to have two Xc genes, as colorblindnes is a X -linked recessive trait, and Xc gets dominated by X gene which is normal.)
