No, color blindness is not linked to gender.
you look gay
Color blindness is a gene expressed in the Y chromosome, which only males give during sexual reproduction.
Color blindness is not passed on. Another answer Men are usually the carriers of the recessive gene, yes, it can be passed on.
In certain cases, color blindness or color deficiency can be considered a disability, but studies show that people with color blindness are better at seeing camouflaged objects.
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.
Not exactly "carriers" since that word refers to someone who has a disease but exhibits no symptoms. However there is a genetic component to color blindness. It doesn't mean all children of a couple will have it though as men have i more often than women and in some types of color blindness the woman must have 2 genetic defects to pass it on.
You can get color blindness if your parent has a dominate trait to color blindness.
You see, you can say "color blindness" in just two words, as compared to "the disability of being unable to perceive the full range of color that the average human being perceives" which is 18 words. So color blindness is succincter.
yes, although not all the persons who have the color blindness 'genes' actually suffer its effects. they can be just carriers, who pass on the genes to the next generation. fyi: mostly males are affected by color blindness
who discovered color blindness
Color blindness is when you don't know what color something is and night blindness is when you can't see well at night from the dark.
