ess in humans is one example of a recessive X-linked trait. In a family in which there are two children, a son and a daughter, the daughter is color-blind but the son has normal vision. Which of the following could you most likely conclude about the mother and / or father of this family? a. The father has normal vision p. The mother has normal vision E. Both the mother and the father are color blind. . Neither parent is color-blind.
