Practice question
Question
Red-Green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. In a population which is in the Hardy- Weinberg equilibrium, the incidence of occurrence of this in males is 1:1000. What will be the expected incidence of affected homozygous females?
Explanation
The principle of Mendelian segregation explains that allele distribution and recombination generate phenotypic variation. Hence 1 in 1000000 fits best because it follows segregation and linkage principles, as documented in authoritative sources on genetics.
