What does ''Colorblind'' mean?
colorblind means that colors look like different colors to a colorblind person Colorblindness is caused by a defect in the X chromosome which is why males (XY) are more likely to be colourblind than females (XX). In a female the defect would have to be in both chromosomes, in the male the defect just has to be in one. Most commonly colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and brown or blue and green.
Why are men more likely than women to be colorblind?
Yes. Because the colorblind trait is a sexlinked trait and is found in the X chromosome that is inherited from the mother, men that only have one X chromosome will develop colorblindness if the trait is found in this gene. For a woman to get it, she would need to have the colorblind gene on both x chromosomes. Therefore the girl´s dad would have to be colorblind and the mother at least a carrier.
Who is affected by a maternal grandfather who is color blind?
it should be the males mostly because males are more likely to become colorblind than females. colorblind females are very rare.
Are Asian men most likely to have male or female offspring?
They will produce the same number of male and female children as the rest of the humans in the world.
Is a female colorblinded trait dominant?
It is dominant. Most likely if the female had children then all her sons would be color blind. If she herself was also color blind then all her children would be color blind too.
What are the chances of a male with normal vision and a color-blind female having a color blind son?
Color blindness is an X-linked trait. That means it is carried in the X chromosome, which differentiates whether a baby will be a girl or a boy. Women have two X chromosomes (XX), and men have an XY combination. If a woman is a carrier for color blindness, only one of her chromosomes will be affected (we'll call it a little "x"), and for that reason she will not be colorblind. Men, on the other hand, only have one X chromosome, so any time they carry the colorblindness gene, they will be colorblind. A woman will carry the colorblindness gene if: a. Her father is colorblind b. Her offpsring are colorblind She may carry the colorblindness gene if: a. Male family members (brothers, uncles, etc.) are colorblind A child inherits one chromosome from each parent. He/She will get an X chromosome from his/her mother, and an X from her father (if a girl) or a Y from his father (if a boy) So, If a woman has normal vision (assuming she does not have a family history of colorblindness), XX, and a man is colorblind, xY, they have several different chances for different offspring: Xx (a normal girl who carries the colorblindness gene) XY (a normal boy) Xx (a normal girl who carries the colorblindness gene) XY (a normal boy) The short answer is that ALL CHILDREN WILL HAVE NORMAL VISION. However, all daughters will be CARRIERS, meaning they can pass colorblindness on to their children.
Why do female children are more likely to act like tomboys if they were exposed to excess what duringf their prenatal development?

Can a colorblind father and normal sighted homozygous mother produce a daughter that is a carrier?
Color blindness is an X-linked trait. That means it is carried in the X chromosome, which differentiates whether a baby will be a girl or a boy. Women have two X chromosomes (XX), and men have an XY combination. If a woman is a carrier for color blindness, only one of her chromosomes will be affected (we'll call it a little "x"), and for that reason she will not be colorblind. Men, on the other hand, only have one X chromosome, so any time they carry the colorblindness gene, they will be colorblind. A child inherits one chromosome from each parent. He/She will get an X chromosome from his/her mother, and an X from her father (if a girl) or a Y from his father (if a boy). So, If a woman is a carrier, Xx, and a man is normal, XY, they have several different chances for different offspring: XX (a normal girl) XY (a normal boy) Xx (a normal girl who carries the colorblindness gene) xY (a colorblind boy) The short answer is, that if a woman has a boy, he has a 50% chance of being colorblind.
Are Children confused about male and female roles in society most likely to become gay?
No. Not one study has ever shown this to be true. In fact, the definition of what a male role or a female role is, has become less rigid for everyone.
