    Male

    XoY

    X+Y

       Female   

    XoXo

    X+X+    X+Xo

    Cross Between A Normal Man (XY) and
    Heterozygous Woman (X+Xo)

       Gametes   

    X

    Yo

    X+X

    X+Y

    Xo

          XoX

    In the above cross, four different possible offspring are produced:

    1. XoY:   Color-blind Boy (1/4 or 25%)
    2. X+Y:    Normal Vision Boy (1/4 or 25%)
