Are color blindness and blindness the same thing?
No - colour-blindness is the inability of the brain to interpret correctly colours that the eyes see, or maybe the eyes have a defect in their structure that sends the wrong signals to the brain. Blindness (total?) is when the eyes are unable to send visual signals to the brain at all. Maybe the optic nerve is damaged, or the eyes themselves are damaged - there are various medical reasons for the cause of blindness.
Why is a son who receives the allele for color blindness from his mother always colorblind?
Color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is carried on the X chromosome. Since males inherit their single X chromosome from their mother, if the mother carries the allele for color blindness, her son will inherit it and be colorblind. Females need two copies of the allele to be colorblind, so they can be carriers without exhibiting the trait.
