Answer:

The correct answer is - 50% of boys will be colorblind.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive disorder which means it will affect a female if present in both X chromosomes whereas in males there is only one X chromosome so even one chromosome with the mutated gene will cause the disorder.

Cross: heterozygous female (XHXh) with a normal man (XHY)

gametes: XH Xh and XH Y

Punnett:

          XH       Y

XH    XHXH   XHY

Xh    XHXh    XhY

male color blind ratio: 1/2 = 50%
