It's the X-chromosome, so whichever number corresponds to it.

Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive sex linked trait.
Is color blindness a result of translocation or deletion?
none. its a slight mutation in 23rd x chromosome
Are women prone to color blindness than man?
Studies show that color blindness affects 8% of Caucasian men and only 0.5% of Caucasian women. Therefore, while the color deficiency is mostly a male dominated affliction, some women are also affected. It is believed that color-blindness comes from a gene on the X chromosome and thus would be part of life from birth. However, it has been discovered that color-blindness can occur with some diseases such as liver disease.
What are the unique facts about color blindness?
Not being able to see color in some cases. Mild color blindness might just be an inability to distinguish between colors like green and red. That is sometimes the case, not always. Did you know that 99% of all color blind people are not actually color blind, but color deficient? Does that help?
What is Inherited on a sex chromosome that can cause human genetic disorder such as color blindness and hemphilia?
Sex linked Gene
Is the color blindness gene also present on the Y chromosome?
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.
Color blindness is a recessive trait. The gene for color blindness is on the X-chromosome. The family tree below shows the trait of color blindness. The only unknown is the mother in the first generation?
(Apex Learning) She has at least one recessive color blindness allele.
Where is the color blindness gene found?
It is found on the non homologous part of the X chromosome.
What causes color blindness genetically?
The majority of affected individuals are males. Females are carriers, but are not normally affected. This indicates that the X chromosome is one of the locations for color blindness.
The allele for color blindness is found on the x chromosome more males suffer from red-green color blindness tha females because?
Plato Users: A and B.

Why is it impossible for a father to pass down red green color blindness to his son?
Boys have one X and one Y chromosome. Color blindness is found on the X chromosomes. Since boys will always get their X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father, father's can never pass on red/green color blindness to their son's. However, since father's do pass their X chromosome to their daughters, they can pass on the trait to their daughters. In this case, daughters have two X chromosomes (one from their mother and one from their father), so they will NOT have red/green color blindness unless they received the defective gene from their mother AND their father. This is the reason that color blindness is 9 times more common in boys than girls.
How does color blindness effect the whole body?
