Therefore, a son from a color-blind mother (who receives the trait from his mother on the X-chromosome) will always be color-blind, regardless of the state of the father (who can only give his son a Y-chromosome).
In females, if one X chromosome is defective, the normal one will protect the woman from being color blind. Females who have a defective gene are carriers, their sons have a 50% chance of being color blind, and their daughters have a 50% chance of becoming a carrier.olor Blindness from Gene Mutations. Inherited color blindness is usually the result of receiving a genetically mutated gene on the X chromosome; however research has shown that mutations that can lead to color blindness originate from in excess of 19 different chromosomes and many different genes.
