Solution

The correct option is B 50% sons colour blind, remaining 50% sons and all daughters phenotypically normal
The genotype of the normal woman with colour blind father = XXc
The genotype of normal man = XY
Morgan and his group found that when genes were grouped on the same chromosome, some genes were very tightly linked (showed very low recombination), while others were loosely linked (showed higher recombination). Recombination is a process of rearrangement of genes during meiosis so that a gamete contains a haploid genotype with a new gene combination.

So, the correct answer is '50% sons colour blind, remaining 50% sons and all daughters phenotypically normal'.
