<span>This means that those organisms have a recessive allele for a trait or mutation but does not display that trait or show symptoms of the disease. However, carriers can pass their recessive allele onto their offspring. If that offspring inherit another recessive allele, from another parent, it becomes recessive homozygous and displays that trait (or has the disease).</span>

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

X-linked recessive

Explanation:

The trait is a sex-linked trait because the daughters are not colorblind, but the sons are. We know this its recessive because the daughters have inherited the mother's X chromosome that has the colourblindness trait, but are not colorblind because the father's X does not have the colourblindness trait. The sons are colourblind because they inherited the X from their mother with the colourblindnese trait and a Y from their father. The colourblindness trait or normal vision trait is not carried on the Y, so the mother's X chromosome's trait is expressed.
