Answer:
none of the males or females could be colorblind, assuming that this question is referring to x-linked recessive inheritance patterns.
Explanation:
if it is an x linked recessive trait, then the male's genotype is [tex]x^{b} y[/tex], with (b) representing colorblindness and (B) representing normal vision. the female, who is h o m o z y g ou s for normal vision, would have the genotype [tex]x^{B} x^{B}[/tex].
It would be impossible for the dad to pass on his colorblind gene to a son, because he can only pass a Y chromosome to the son. and a daughter would get the colorblind gene, but the normal gene donated by the mom would dominate it so the daughter could not actually be colorblind
