So, everybody pretty much agrees, then.
Just about accepted phrasing now, I guess. Laughing

And for being the second color blindness card? Maybe a relation, but color blindness is generally a safe, easy example for sex-linked disorders. Wouldn't into it too much, but then again, you never know. Shocked

Edit: Bloody nitpickers, the lot of you... Laughing

And, now that we know the exact phrasings, this is a real SOLVED.

No ones really explained the answer to 3 (maybe because its quite simple) but for your information:
B has to be a carrier to have an offspring with the disorder - therefore not XX
She can't be XcXc or else she would be colourblind herself (you need to have the colour blindness gene on both chromosomes in a woman to be affected).
Therefore XcX is the only possible option

I hope this helps people who didn't study genetics in Biology!
