What is the probability that a colorblind women and a man with normal vision will have a colorblind son?
50%Answer100%
Why are there more men that are colorblind then women?
It has to do with the slight differences in the DNA, ANSWER Colorblindness is sex linked trait. Females are XX and Males are XY. The colorblind gene is only on the X chromosome so if a male has the gene on the X chromosome then he will be colorblind. Females can have it on one X chromosome, but not the other and not be colorblind; however, they are a carrier and can pass it on. For a female to be colorblind both X chromosomes must have the gene.
Witch colors are dogs colorblind from?
Dogs are not colorblind naturally, but if they have a problem and are colorblind it can be any color.
A women wo isn't colorblind but has an allele for color blindness reproduces with a man who has normal vision what is the chance that they'll have a colorblind daughter?
There is no chance for a colorblind daughter because the x-chromosome that comes from the male is normal and then it does not matter which x-chromosome comes from the female because colorblindness is a recessive gene, therefore there is no chance.
Is Taylor Lautner colorblind?
No, Taylor Lauter is not colorblind.
Are rhodesian ridgebacks colorblind?
All dogs are colorblind.
Why cant women be color blind?
Women can be colour blind.AnswerI am a woman who is red--green colorblind. The trait is carried on the X chromosome. Males receive an X chromosome from their mother and a Y from their father. If the X carries the trait of colorblindness, the male will be colorblind. Females need to receive two defective X chromosomes to be colorblind, one from their father and one from their mother. If a women has only one defective X chromosome, she will be a carrier of the trait. My father was red-green colorblind and so was my mother's father, making my mother a carrier of the trait, although she is not colorblind herself. I have two sisters who are not colorblind, as they each received a non-defective X chromosome from my mother. I knew before my son was born that he would be red-green colorblind, as the X chromosome he received from me carried the trait.
The gene for color blindness is a recessive allele located on the x chromosome. If a color blind man and color blind woman have one son and three daughters how many will be color blind?
Women can not be colorblind, only men. For questions like these a punnett square is useful. Men can not carry the colorblind trait, but women can. I know this is kind of confusing. When a carrier ( a woman with the color blind trait) has children with a man ( color blind or not) her kids will have 50% chance of having that trait. If its a girl, she will be the carrier. If its a boy, he will have the colorblind trait. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Theoreticaly, 1 of the daughters will be the carrier, and the son will have a 50% chance of being colorblind. Women can be colorblind, its just rare. About every 6400 women one is colour blind and with men, every 80 men 1 is colour blind.
Is a carrier for colorblindness is colorblind?
Not necessarily. The allele for colorblindness is recessive. For a female, in order to be colorblind she must have to recessive alleles for colorblindness. Example: XcXc would be colorblind. XCXc would be a carrier for colorblindness, but not colorblind. For a male, because colorblindness is a sex-linked gene, he only needs one allele to be colorblind. Example: XcY is colorblind. XCY is not colorblind.
What is the probability that a colorblind female and a normal color vision male will produce an colorblind offspring?
100% of all male offspring will be colorblind. 0% of all femal offspring will be colorblind.
What is the life expectancy for people that are colorblind?
The same for a person who is not colorblind
