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)
Red-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.
The 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.
There are several different genes involved, depending on the type of color blindness (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow, blue-green, total)
The allele that causes red-green colorblindness is a recessive allele located on the X sex chromosome, so it is sex-linked.

EYCL1 on chromosome 19 and EYCL3 on chromosome 15.
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.
Red-green colorblindness is located on the X chromosome.

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.
Color blindness is not passed on. Another answer Men are usually the carriers of the recessive gene, yes, it can be passed on.
Sex linked Gene
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.
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.
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.
(Apex Learning) She has at least one recessive color blindness allele.

Yes, I learned about that is school last year.
It is found on the non homologous part of the X chromosome.
If gene related to color blindness is dominant one compared to other genes of father or mother, then the boy inherit the gene (character).
It is sex-linked
