Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Man: Normal visioned (). His father's condition doesn't matter because a son inherits only the chromosome from his father.2. Woman: Her father was colour-blind (), so she must be a carrier ().3. Cross: Possible Genotypes for Daughters: (Normal), (Carrier).Since both possible daughter genotypes result in normal vision (phenotypically), the chance of the daughter being colour-blind is zero.
