Why is it impossible for a father to pass down red green color blindness to his son?
Boys have one X and one Y chromosome. Color blindness is found on the X chromosomes. Since boys will always get their X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father, father's can never pass on red/green color blindness to their son's.
However, since father's do pass their X chromosome to their daughters, they can pass on the trait to their daughters. In this case, daughters have two X chromosomes (one from their mother and one from their father), so they will NOT have red/green color blindness unless they received the defective gene from their mother AND their father. This is the reason that color blindness is 9 times more common in boys than girls.

Why could a girl with Turner's syndrome have red-green color blindness even though both of her parents have normal vision?
Turner's syndrome is caused by a missing or incomplete X chromosome. Since the gene for red-green color blindness is located on the X chromosome, if the girl inherited the X chromosome carrying the red-green color blindness gene from her father, she could have the condition even though her father has normal vision. Her mother would be a carrier of the gene, but with two X chromosomes, she likely does not exhibit red-green color blindness herself.
