Typically the X-chromosome, which makes it more common in men.

The mutation can also occur on 19 other chromosomes, but X is the clearest one.

What is the karyotype of color blindness?

Individuals with color blindness often have a normal male karyotype (46,XY) or female karyotype (46,XX). The genetic basis for color blindness typically involves mutations in genes located on the X chromosome, leading to different types of color vision deficiencies.

What kind of non Mendelian trait is color blindness?

Color blindness is an example of an X-linked recessive trait, which is a type of non-Mendelian inheritance. This means that the gene responsible for color blindness is located on the X chromosome, and the trait is more commonly expressed in males than females.

Color blindness is a sex linked gene . Males are more likely to be color blind than females because color blindness is?

Color blindness is typically caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), so if they inherit the X chromosome with the color blindness gene, they will express the trait. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they would need to inherit the gene from both parents to exhibit color blindness, making it less common among females. This sex-linked inheritance pattern explains why color blindness is more prevalent in males than in females.
