In the cells of all human females, one X chromosome is inactivated. The opsin1 gene is on the X chromosome and it is transcribed in the retinal cells of the eye. Loss-of-function mutations in this gene cause the recessive trait of color blindness. Most women who have one mutant allele of the opsin1 gene and one normal allele of the opsin1 gene (heterozygotes) can still see color. What is the most likely explanation for this finding?

Cystic fibrosis in humans is caused by mutations in a single gene and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. A couple where neither has cystic fibrosis has two children. The first child has cystic fibrosis, and the second child is unaffected. What is the probability that the second child is a carrier (heterozygous) for the mutation that causes the disease?
