i don't know... is there a genetic connection???
Im wondering the same thing. Is there a genetic connection? I concluded that there is not an genetic connection, that dark hair has dark eyes for example. But i do however thing that there is a environmental connection. Both hair and eye color is effected but the environment (sunny, not sunny)

∙ 14y agoRed-green color blindness is a sex-linked trait. The receptors of red and green color are found on the X chromosome; therefore, men are more likely to be red-green color blind since they only have one. Blue-yellow color blindness is found on chromosome 7, and is equally distributed between men and women.

∙ 11y agoThe question is what gene affects vision and causes colorblindness.
The typical form (95% of all the various types) of colorblindness in humans is red-green colorblindness and the gene is are located on the X chromosome. There are many variations of the allele causing an array of variations in severity.

∙ 7y agoThere are several different genes involved, depending on the type of color blindness (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow, blue-green, total)

∙ 11y agoThe allele that causes red-green colorblindness is a recessive allele located on the X sex chromosome, so it is sex-linked.

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.
How is colour blindness passed on?
Color blindness is not passed on. Another answer Men are usually the carriers of the recessive gene, yes, it can be passed on.
What is Inherited on a sex chromosome that can cause human genetic disorder such as color blindness and hemphilia?
Sex linked Gene
How is red-green color blindness inherited?
You can inherit it from your parents, so it is automatically genetic. Color blindness is a recessive trait, so you only inherit it if both your parents carry the gene.
What gene causes one to have brown eyes?
It is not just one gene that causes the color of eyes. Eye color genetics is complicated and it takes many genes to create an eye color. Regardless of the parents' and children's eye color any combination can occur even for the same eye color.
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?

It is found on the non homologous part of the X chromosome.
