This Question is so weird.
The question is asking the probability that the male child will be colorblind.

Since male child get X from his mom, why the problem gives so many informations about the man?
I dont need to know he is normal or colorblind.

and it doesnt specify about mom.
i know one of her X is normal from that her daughter is normal, but still dont know about another X.
she could be a carrier or normal woman.

and the answer is 0%.

anyone knows the purpose of this question?

This question is so dumb.
and there are more questions like this.
i feel like i am wasting my time with DAT destroyer.

Is this DAT destroyer really helpful?

since the female is normal she will have 2 healthy X chromosomes and will donate one or the either. It doesnt matter if the male is affected by colorblindness or not since he has to donate a Y chromosome and colorblindness is x-linked. The male child born will be healhty and be XY. Therefore, a 0% chance of the male child being colorblind.

You dont know whether she is normal or carrier.

Not everyone sees right through the fact that you don't need info about the father. You happen to be bright 🙂 It's a blessing.
