At an autosomal gene locus in humans, the allele for brown eyes is dominant over the allele for blue eyes. At another gene locus, located on the X chromosome, a recessive allele produces colorblindness while the dominant allele produces normal color vision. A heterozygous brown-eyed woman who is a carrier of colorblindness has a child with a blue-eyed man who is not colorblind. An ultrasound test shows that the child is a girl. What is the probability that she will be colorblind? (Enter the probability as a percent. Enter the number only without the percent sign. For example, enter 100% as 100 and enter 12.5% as 12.5)
