It could be inherited by the parents, that would be very likely, If the parents don't have color blindness, its not very likely.
50%
The probability of a child being color blind depends on the parents' genetic makeup. If the mother is a carrier of the color blindness gene located on the X chromosome and the father does not carry the gene, the chances are 0% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness. If the father is color blind and the mother is a carrier, the chances are 50% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness.
50% (apex)
if the child is a boy, 0%. if it's a girl, either 100% if the trait is dominant in the father or 50% if it is recessive. there is also the possibilty of the daughter having it but just being a carrier (has the disease but no signs of it)
Color Blindness is x-linked recessive. Therefore, it could not be heterozygous; the daughter would not be colorblind, but rather have normal vision.
who discovered color blindness
The probability of a colorblind child being born is 50%. This is because the male passes his Y chromosome to all his sons, and since he is colorblind, his sons will inherit the colorblind gene from him. The daughters will inherit their X chromosome from the mother and have a 50% chance of being carriers like her.

50% probability that the sons produced from this union will be color blind. 50% probability that a son will not have the disease. 50% probability that a daughter will be a carrier of the allele for color blindness. 50% probability that a daughter will not be a carrier. Phenotypically this would be 1male color blind, 1 male not color blind, 1 female carrier and 1 female non-carrier. Assuming that the probability of male and female offspring is identical...this would be 25% of each genotype mentioned above. Based on phenotype, without regard to sex the percentages of normal to colorblind would be 75% to 25% with the 25% displaying the characteristic all being male.
Yes. See Wikipedia - Pingelap (#Color-blindness)
It is not true that color blindness is most common in females. Color blindness is most common in males and approximately 8 percent of men have it.
The cause of color blindness is X-linked factors.
