No. Birds can see more of the spectrum than humans. Furthermore male bowerbirds use coloured objects to adorn their bowers in order to attract mates and the females of many species have preference of particular colours, in particular blues.

On the contrary; birds are able to distinguish a wide variety of colours. That is why the male of many species often uses bright and vivid colours to attract the female.

Man who is color blind marries a woman not colorblind and doesn't have recessive allele will their children be carriers of the color blind allele?

50%AnswerColourblindness is a sex-linked recessive mutation i.e. the mutation is carried on the X chromosome. If a colour blind man married a carrier woman they could produce a carrier daughter, a colour blind daughter, a normal son or a colour blind son. The probability of each phenotype occurring is 25%.If XC represents the normal allele for seeing colour and Xc represents the colour blind allele the genotypes of the possible offspring would be as follows:Carrier daughter = XCXcColour blind daughter = XcXcNormal son = XCYColour blind son = XcYThis information is incorrect. In fact a woman can be color blind. My mother is color blind as are my brothers. My sister and I are not though we carry the gene. I have two daughters and one is color blind and the other is not color blind.The information I gave is not incorrect - I have included the possibility of that 'mating' producing a colour blind female child.
