When a colour blind (XCY) marries to a woman with normal sight (XX) who has no family history of colour blindness, all of their sons will be normal pure and all of their daughters will be carriers as shown below:
So in the next generation, the children of all of their son will be normal in all conditions(except the case in which the wife involved is not carrier neither colour blind). For carrier daughters.
(i) If they many to a normal man 50% of their grandsons will become colour blind as
(ii) If carrier daughter marries to a colour blind man 50% of their grandson will be colour blind along with 50% of the grand daughter while rest 50% of the grand daughters will be carriers as
So in both the above cases, the result shows 50% of grand sons will be colour blind which in terms of over all progress (son + daughter) comes as 25% thus confirming the probability as 0.25.
