It is not possible to give a proper answer to the question for two main reasons. The first reason is that the probability of boys and girls are not equal. The global probability, at birth is 0.517 for boys and 0.483 for girls. Second, the children's genders are not independent events. Third, the gender ratios change with the parents' (mother's) age.
If you choose to ignore all these facts, then the probability is (1/2)4 = 1/16

Make a punnet square with the mother above, her genotype would be: X^B X^b, and the father to the left whose genotype is X^b Y.The probability of having a colorblind CHILD is 50%. The probability of them having a SON is 50%. Since we are asked what the probability of their SON being colorblind, it is 50% as well. The reason is because the chance of having a colorblind son, among sons only, (according to the punnet square) is 50%.

If a woman has given birth to two sons what is the probability that her third child will be a girl?
In general, the probability that any child will be a girl is approximately 1 in 2. It is like flipping a coin. There is a 50-50 chance for a specific outcome each time. It would be less likely that a woman would have three sons than that she have two sons and one daughter, but each individual outcome is a 50-50 chance. If this is a brain teaser, since we are given that the woman has given birth to two sons, it could imply that any other children she has are daughters, in which case the probability is 100% - if we know that she has other children.
