If the person has been blind all of their life, explaining color to them would be impossible. How can anyone have a conception of what color even means, if they never had the experience of seeing anything except darkness?
That's rightA person who has never ever been sighted also has no concept of darkness, since darkness is a visual experience. This can be a difficult concept for a sighted person to get.

∙ 13y agotell them that it is a wonderful thing, and they are most unfortunate on that part, but then tell them that they have more of an advantage with their other senses, such as touch, smell, feel and taste, mostly touch and hear, and that someday, in another life, they will be able to see for themselves what they have never seen, or havent seen in forever. i dont know, you could try that, anybody have a better one? cuz i dont know...

∙ 12y agoExplain it to them by using the weather for example like the colour blue is like the breeze in the morning sky? or something or use another one of they're senses like smelling? say if you smelt a cookie you'd know it was a cookie either light brown or dark

you can't predict that. it depends on what sex the offspring is. if it is a female, she could be color blind because her father is, but a male could be color blind either way. because color blindness is carried on the Y chromosome and not the X chromosome.

How can a color be explained to a Blind Man and a silence be explained to a deaf man?
Color to a blind man or woman: * Color works on the eye the way sounds do on the ear. A light color is like a high pitched sound, a dark color is like a low pitched sound. Silence to a deaf man or woman: * Sound works on the ears the way color does on the eye. Loudness is like lots of bright, intense colors; silence is like darkness. Since color vibrates at specific rates this ferquency may help to describe what a color feels like to a blind person and the lack of any vibration may explain silince is like to a deaf person A color can be explained to a blind man by touch. For example, green could be an avacado, or something else with that texture. White could maybe be cotton balls or something else soft. Silence can be explained to a deaf man by hand gestures (obviously). For example, the deaf man could be in the middle of a "conversation" and all of a sudden the other person will just stop.
What is the probability that a woman who is a carrier of the colorblind gene and a color blind man will have a first son who will be color blind?
The probability is 0 (but the daughter will be a carrier of the color blind gene). This is because the gene dictating whether someone is color blind or not is linked to the X chromosome (and not the Y). The color blind gene is a recessive gene whilst the normal color vision gene is a dominant gene. Hence if a girl (XX) has one normal vision gene (from one parent) and one color blind gene (from the other parent), her normal vision gene will be dominant to the recessive color blind gene and hence she will have normal vision (but she will be a carrier of the color blind gene). If both her parents contribute the recessive color blind gene to her, then she will be color blind. For a woman (XX) to be color blind, she needs to be have both genes to be recessive (ie where there is no dominant normal color vision gene to dominate). For a man (XY), as long as the X gene contributed by his mother is a color blind gene, he will be color blind because he has no other X chromosome where a dominant normal color gene could reside. Hence, to answer the question, a man with normal color vision (XY, with a dominant normal color vision X gene since the gene can't be the recessive color blind gene otherwise he will be colorblind) and a colorblind woman (XX, both recessive color blind genes), will each contribute an X each the child. The man will contribute his only X chromosome which carries the normal color vision X gene and the woman can only contribute a recessive color blind gene. The man's normal color vision X gene will be dominant, and hence the daughter will definitely have normal vision (despite being a carrier).
How a dumb man would tell a blind man that a duff man had stolen his bag?
