If this is the picture you are talking about, the right answer is non-disjunction
Non-disjunction is the non-separation of homologous chromosomes at the time of cell division which results in the formation of ova or spermatozoa leading to an abnormality in the number of chromosomes of the egg thus fertilized by the spermatozoa.
The fertilized egg consists of either a single chromosome, what is called monosomy, or, conversely, three chromosomes, this is called trisomy. While naturally, the fertilized egg has a single pair of chromosomes.
Answer:
The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.
Explanation:
Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.
Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.
