In humans, one of the genes determining color vision is located on the X chromosome. The dominant form (C) produces normal color vision; red-green colorblindness (c) is recessive. If a man with normal color vision marries a color-blind woman, what is the probability of their having a color-blind son? A color-blind daughter?
