Is color blindness continuous?
Color blindness is not continuous; rather, it exists as distinct types and degrees of color vision deficiencies. The most common forms, such as red-green color blindness, can vary in severity, but individuals either have a specific type of deficiency or do not. This means that while the manifestation of color blindness can differ among individuals, it does not represent a continuous spectrum but rather discrete categories of color perception.

Are color blindness and blindness the same thing?
No - colour-blindness is the inability of the brain to interpret correctly colours that the eyes see, or maybe the eyes have a defect in their structure that sends the wrong signals to the brain. Blindness (total?) is when the eyes are unable to send visual signals to the brain at all. Maybe the optic nerve is damaged, or the eyes themselves are damaged - there are various medical reasons for the cause of blindness.
Can people who are colourblind be pilots?
Generally, no. Some types of color blindness are OK for general aviation, but red-green color blindness is almost always a disqualification, because the wingtip lights are red and green.
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.
Are all women carriers of color blindness?
Yes. See Wikipedia - Pingelap (#Color-blindness)
What would happen to a person's colour vision if one of three types of cones in his or hers eyes stopped working?
A very unusual form of color blindness. Even in people with normal color blindness all three types of cones usually still work, but one has an incorrect pigment and so responds to the wrong color. Also color blindness is almost always a condition someone is born with, not something that can occur suddenly.
Does colorblidness apper in brith or later on in life?
Color blindness is genetic and so is present at birth. There are three types of color-blindness, also known as color vision defect. The first is red-green color blindness and is the most common. The second is blue-yellow and the third is complete lack of color vision. For each type of color blindness, rather than seeing the colors as they are, one would see varying degrees of intensity of the particular color, or not see the color at all, resulting in shades of brown or grey. The gene for color blindness is carried on the X chromosome, therefore more males than females are affected.
Which is NOT true of color blindness?
It is not true that color blindness is most common in females. Color blindness is most common in males and approximately 8 percent of men have it.
What is a congenital deficiency of color perception called?
A congenital deficiency of color perception is called color blindness, or more formally, color vision deficiency. It occurs when the cones in the retina, which are responsible for detecting color, do not function properly. The most common types include red-green color blindness and blue-yellow color blindness, often inherited genetically. This condition affects how individuals perceive colors, but it does not typically impact their overall vision.
What is the usual cause of color blindness?
The cause of color blindness is X-linked factors.
