a.
crossing over.
b.

heredity

Explanation:

Heredity is the passage of information that specifies an organism's traits encoded in genes from one generation to the next. Variations refers to the differences between individuals. The study of these variations and how they are inherited from parents to offspring is called genetics.

the father in the first generation probably had the recessive colorblind trait in his x chromosome. if he and his wife both had the colorblind trait, even if she had 1 recessive and 1 dominant, then that trait would be passed on to their kids.
