Normal color vision requires the use of specialized receptor cells called cones, which are located in the retina of the eye. There are three types of cones, termed red, blue, and green, which enable people to see a wide spectrum of colors.
Glasses that simulate color blindness work by filtering out specific colors to mimic the experience of color vision deficiency. When individuals with normal color vision wear these glasses, they can better understand and empathize with the challenges faced by those with color blindness. This can lead to increased awareness and sensitivity towards the needs of color blind individuals.
Assuming that the man who has normal vision is homozygous for normal vision, the couple's daughter will either be homozygous for normal vision or heterozygous (normal vision but carrier for color blindness) for normal vision. In light of this, the couple's daughter will not be color blind.
Normal color vision is typically considered the dominant trait, while colorblindness is recessive. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the colorblindness gene (one from each parent) to express the condition. In contrast, inheriting just one copy of the normal color vision gene is sufficient to have normal color vision.
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).
The expected phenotypic ratio for their offspring is 1:1, with a 50% chance of being color blind (male with the X-linked recessive trait) and a 50% chance of having normal color vision. This is because the daughter is a carrier of the recessive allele, which can be passed on to her offspring regardless of the father's color vision status.
man with normal color vision. Since the woman is a carrier of the red-green color blindness gene (inherited from her color-blind mother), there is a 50% chance that any son they have will be color-blind, as he would inherit the X chromosome with the color-blind gene from his mother. Daughters have a 50% chance of being carriers like their mother but will have normal color vision since they would inherit a normal X chromosome from their father.

The mother has two defective X chromosomes for color. The father has a normal X (and Y). If they have children and they are girls, the girls will have one defective X and a normal X. That normal X from dad will be enough so she will see color. If a boy, he will have a defective X and a normal Y but will be color blind. Only in the case of one normal X and a defective X would a child have normal vision. The Y chromosome doesn't have any genes for color.
If a normal woman (not a carrier of the color blindness gene) marries a color-blind man, their children will inherit their color vision traits based on the father's X-linked recessive gene for color blindness. Sons will have a 50% chance of being color blind, as they inherit the Y chromosome from their father and the X chromosome from their mother. Daughters will inherit one X chromosome from each parent, and since the mother has normal vision, they will be carriers of the color blindness gene but will not be color blind themselves. Therefore, all daughters will have normal color vision, while some sons may be color blind.
Dichromatic vision is colorblindness. Normal color vision is known as trichomacy, which means that the eye uses all three types of light cones normally. Dichromatic vision means that people can only use two types of cones. There are different types, depending on which cone does not work.
Color blindness typically does not affect life expectancy. It is a hereditary condition that primarily impacts the way individuals perceive colors. People with color blindness can lead normal, healthy lives without any impact on their overall life expectancy.
