Women can not be colorblind, only men. For questions like these a punnett square is useful. Men can not carry the colorblind trait, but women can. I know this is kind of confusing.
When a carrier ( a woman with the color blind trait) has children with a man ( color blind or not) her kids will have 50% chance of having that trait. If its a girl, she will be the carrier. If its a boy, he will have the colorblind trait.
SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION:
Theoreticaly, 1 of the daughters will be the carrier, and the son will have a 50% chance of being colorblind.
Women can be colorblind, its just rare. About every 6400 women one is colour blind and with men, every 80 men 1 is colour blind.

Which describes the allele that causes color blindness?
The allele that causes red-green colorblindness is a recessive allele located on the X sex chromosome, so it is sex-linked.
What is it called when genes are located on the same chromosome?
Genes on the same chromosome are said to be linked.
What would have stopped mendel from finding a pattern in his results?
If seed shape did not have a clearly dominant form. If seed color and shape were located on the same chromosome
Tay sachs is located on what chromosome?
15
What kind condition is carried on a chromosome other then the sex chromosomes?
The gene that causes cystic fibrosis is located on chromosome 7, which is an autosome, not a sex chromosome.
What chromosome is color blindness located on?
The X chromosome
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of color blindness in affected individuals. Males are more likely to be colorblind than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
Which describes the allele that causes color blindness?
The allele that causes red-green colorblindness is a recessive allele located on the X sex chromosome, so it is sex-linked.
Are sex linkedd traits usually dominant or recessive?
The alleles on the sex chromosomes are still dominant or recessive, the difference is that even a recessive trait on the X chromosome can be expressed if it is located at a gene locus that has no matching locus on the Y chromosome. The alleles for red-green color blindness are located on the X chromosome is a place that has no corresponding locus on the Y chromosome. Inheritance for a male child depends on the mother's genetics and, if she is a carrier, the male child has a 50% chance of being color blind.
What gene is color blindness located?
Red-green colorblindness is located on the X chromosome.
What gene for red green color blindness is located on the X-chromosome it is normally not possibly for a?
female.
What is a recessive traits?
An x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.
Can A and a alleles both be located on one chromosome?
If the A allele represents the dominant allele at a specific locus and a represents the recessive allele for the same locus they cannot occupy the same locus on one chromosome. A heterozygous individual would have A on one chromosome and a on the other.
What is a x-linked recessive trait?
An x-linked recessive trait is a trait located on a x gene that is not dominant. It typically will show up when there is only 1 x gene, in the instance of males. Color blindness is an example.
Why can a man who has a sex-linked disorder pass the disorder to his daughters but not to his sons?
Sounds like the disorder is genetic and located in his x-chromosome.
What is a x linked resessive disorder?
X-linked recessive disorder identifies location of the gene causing the disorder as being located on the X chromosome.
When are sex link traits due to occur?
Sex-linked traits are caused by genes located on a sex chromosome.In humans, sex is caused by one pair of chromosomes (the sex chromosomes). In females they are called X chromosomes, so females are XX. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so males are XY.The Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosome so many genes on the X chromosome do not have a 'matching' gene on the Y chromosome. So a recessive allele carried on the X chromosome is more likely to be expressed in males, because they won't have another copy of that allele on the Y chromosome.Females have two X chromosomes so a recessive allele on one may be 'hidden' by a dominant allele on the other, so sex-linked traits are much rarer in females since they would have to inherit two recessive alleles.Examples of sex-linked traits in humans are colour-blindness, muscular dystrophy and haemophilia [note these are UK spellings!].
