Detailed Solution

Gita is a carrier (XcX) and her husband is normal (XY). Half of her sons would be colourblind and all of her daughters would be carriers with normal vision. If she were to give birth to another child, the probability of the child to be male is 0.5 and the probability of male child to be colourblind is 0.5. So, the probability of her next child to be colourblind would be 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25 (25%).
