Since color blindness is a sex-linked recessive genetic disorder, it is carried by a X chromosome. Males (XY) are affected if they get the affected X from their mother, since males only have one X, and it is therefore always expressed. Females (XX), however, get one X from their mother and the other from their father. So both parents have to pass a color blind X to be affected (both alleles, by the definition of recessive).
Even though the mother is not affected, she's carrying it because her father was color blind. And the father is not affected. However, in Turner's Syndrome, one X is destroyed after fertilization, so the other X is the daughter's primary (only remaining) X. Note: Turners only affects females. Therefore, this is a rare situation in which a daughter gets affected by an X-linked recessive condition.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
