Sex-linked color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait, which means females carrying one copy of the gene will not be color blind, but males who inherit the gene from their mother will be color blind. If a carrier female mates with a non-carrier male, there is a 50% chance that their male children will inherit the recessive gene from their mother and will be color blind.
