colorblindess is a sex-linked recessive trait. This means the females that are colorblind will give ALL male offspring colorblindness. colorblindness is on the X , so the male gets on X from mom and the Y from dad. So the male will have and affected X that he got from the mother

Red-green color blindness is a human genetic disorder cause by?
Color blindness is a sex-linked genetic disorder. The reason that it is more prevalent in males is because the disorder is linked the the X-chromasome. If a male inherits an X chromosome that is defective, then they will be color blind. However, a female has two X chromosomes which means she can receive a defective chromosome and only be a carrier of the mutation. If she receives two defective x chromosomes, she will be colorblind.
Are all women carriers of color blindness?
Yes. See Wikipedia - Pingelap (#Color-blindness)
