When a woman who is a carrier for colorblindness is crossed with a man who has normal vision, the male offspring exhibit colorblindness. This demonstrates criss-cross inheritance, where the gene for colorblindness is inherited from the maternal grandfather.

Question

Accepted Answer

True. The statement is true because in criss-cross inheritance, the X-linked trait (like colorblindness) is passed from the mother to her sons, and the gene originates from the maternal grandfather.
