A normal-visioned man whose father was colour-blind, marries a woman whose father was also colour-

If a father and son are both affected by red-green colour blindness, then what can be said definitely?
I. | The son has received the trait from the father. |
II. | The mother of the affected son has to be affected by red-green colour blindness. |
III. | Any sister of the affected son can never be affected by red-green colour blindness. |
1. | I and II only | 2. | I and III only |
