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

What is sex linked disorder?
it means that you inherit this form of disorder either from your mother or father's sex chromosomes. For example- color blindness or Haemophillia.
Is Red-green color blindness an X-linked recessive disorder?
Yes, red-green color blindness is typically an X-linked recessive disorder. This means that the gene responsible for red-green color blindness is located on the X chromosome, and individuals who inherit an abnormal gene on their X chromosome are more likely to express the trait if they are male, as they have only one X chromosome.
Is color blind dominant or recessive?
recessive
Explain how red-green color blindness is inherited?
well actually i very much disagree, i believe that color blindness is a sex-linked trait; therefore, a girl (written Xc ) who receives one recessive allele for one red-green blindness WILL NOThave the trait, however a boy who receives one recessive WILL be recessive.
What are some examples of sex-linkage?
Examples of sex-linked traits in humans include color blindness and hemophilia. In color blindness, the gene responsible for detecting color is located on the X chromosome, making it more common in males. Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome, leading to impaired blood clotting.

What is the usual cause of color blindness?
The cause of color blindness is X-linked factors.
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)
Name a sex-linked genetic disorder?
Many different disorders are sex-linked. Saying something is sex-linked indicates that the gene causing the disorder can be found on one of the sex chromosomes, certain muscle disorders for example are sex-linked
