Been meaning to reply. Sinclair, your right about the easiest solution. Now if it only work with my fading hearing, where the easiest solution is "could you repeat that". Seems to annoy some people.
Growler, if you have any deficiency, your son didn't get it from you. It's a recessive trait on the X chromosome and your son got your Y. It follows the same pattern as male pattern baldness - if ones maternal grandfather has it, there's a 50% chance you get it. If you follow the genetics where X = normal vision and x = color deficiency:
Grandpa is xY and hence color deficient.
He has a daughter so she gets his x. She's either Xx (normal because X is dominant) or xx (which is rare).
Assuming she is Xx, her son has a 50% chance of getting either. It's a boy because he gets dad's Y, so it's 50/50 if he'll be XY or xY
When it was figured out with me when I was 14, my mother said "that explains a lot of things about my father!"
