To solve this problem, we need to analyze the genetic inheritance of color blindness, which is a sex-linked recessive trait.Color blindness is carried on the X chromosome. A female has two X chromosomes (XX), while a male has one X and one Y chromosome (XY).A color-blind female has the genotype where represents the X chromosome carrying the color blindness allele.A man whose mother was color-blind must have inherited the chromosome from her, so his genotype is Let's determine the possible genotypes of their progeny:The female can only pass on an chromosome.The male can pass on either an or a Y chromosome.The possible combinations are:(female, color-blind)(male, color-blind)All progeny will inherit the color blindness allele, resulting in 100% of the children being color-blind.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: 100%.
