Yes, colorblind people can perceive the color white because white is a combination of all colors and does not rely on the ability to distinguish between specific colors.


What if Mary and her mother are both colorblind is Mary's father colorblind too?

If Mary's mother is colorblind, and therefore carries the colorblind gene on one of her X chromosomes, then Mary would inherit that gene as well. If Mary's father is colorblind, he would have to pass on his X chromosome with the colorblind gene to Mary, making her colorblind too. If only Mary's mother is colorblind, Mary's father is likely not colorblind.


If a mom colorblind and the father not colorblind what is the probability the child will be colorblind?

If the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene (XcX) and the father has normal color vision, the probability of their child being colorblind is 50%. This is because the child has a 50% chance of inheriting the Xc chromosome from the mother and developing colorblindness.


In humans normal color vision is dominant over colorblindness. A colorblind male marries a female who is a carrier for color blindness. What is the probability that a colorblind child would be born to?

The probability of a colorblind child being born is 50%. This is because the male passes his Y chromosome to all his sons, and since he is colorblind, his sons will inherit the colorblind gene from him. The daughters will inherit their X chromosome from the mother and have a 50% chance of being carriers like her.


Father isn't colorblind mother is a carrier--one son is colorblind but the other is not how?

It is called x-linked alleles. It is rare for a female to have color blindness because the allele must be passed from both parents. Males only need one allele to be color blind.With the equation, color blind female and non-color blind male reproduce. Each son has a 50% chance of developing the disorder.

What colors can people see?

Contrary to popular belief, only a rare percentage colorblind people can only see in black and white. More commonly, colorblind people difficulty telling two colors apart, or being able to identify what color an object is. Colorblind people don't see anything "wrong", their perception of color is just slightly different. Only in a minority of colorblind people is colorblindness a major disability. Common colours to not be able to distinguish between are green and red, blue and orange.
