Answer:
X indicates the sex-linked recessive gene for colour blindness. If a colour blind man 0(Y) marries a normal woman (XX), in the F 1 generation all-male progeny (sons) will be normal (XY). The female progeny (daughters) though will show normal phenotype, but genetically they will be heterozygous (XX).

☆ As many as 8 percent of men and 0.5 percent of women with Northern European ancestry have the common form of red-green color blindness. Men are much more likely to be colorblind than women because the genes responsible for the most common, inherited color blindness are on the X chromosome.
