Answer:

Colorblindness and hemophilia are sex-linked traits. The carrier is typically the female, as males only have one X chromosome and are more likely to express the trait if they inherit the recessive allele. Females have two X chromosomes and can be carriers of the trait if they inherit one copy of the recessive allele, but they may not express the trait unless they inherit two copies of the recessive allele. Therefore, while both males and females can inherit sex-linked traits, females are more likely to be carriers of these traits.
