Color blindness is a much milder handicap than Hemophilia-a which can cause uncontrolled bleeding and death or injury from relatively minor accidents, N"cest Pas?Hemophilia is rare but not unknown in women. it is possible at least one of the Romanov girls had it, as did Prince Alexis. This would have had amplified the tragic events of Ekaterinburg, as any bloodletting, certainly that from automatic pistols which the NKVD men used , woiuold have disastrous effects.

∙ 9y agoColor blindness and hemophilia are both sex-linked traits which means they are genetically found on the x chromosome. Because of this, few women experience either condition. A very small percent of women can be considered colorblind (somewhere from 1 to 4 percent). Women who carry the hemophilia gene are not full hemophiliacs but they may express a mild hemophilia.

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.
Why is colorblindness more common in males?
It's because it's, what we call, a "sex-linked disorder." You see, men have "xy" chromosomes, and women have "xx" chromosomes. In a sex-linked disorder, all "x" chromosomes in either of the genes have to be affected. if you see an affected x chromosome, it would look something like this "xa". The "y" chromosomes don't become affected, I don't think. Women who have only one x chromosome affected are called "carriers," meaning they aren't affected by the disorder, but they carry it in their genes and can pass it on to their offspring. They don't ALWAYS pass on to the child, but it CAN happen. So why is it easier for men to become colorblind? They have less x chromosomes. If you need more help understanding how that works, google "Colorblindness and punnet square." The Punnet Square is very important to add to your research! if you're curious.
Would a hemophiliac have an above or below normal coagulation time?
A hemophiliac is someone with uncontrolable bleeding. Hence the definiont, then the person would have a below normal coagulation time.
Females are more lustful or males?
Females are more lustfull but they also have more resistance to control their lust
Can black people be colorblind?
yes, black people can be colorblind. i does not matter what color or culture you are from. both white and black people can be colorblind
Is colorblind a sex linked trait?
Why is colorblindness a sex-linked trait? Descendants of colorblind hemophiliac man both disease are sex- linked? why do non of the children have either hemophila or colorblind
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.
Why are there more men that are colorblind then women?
It has to do with the slight differences in the DNA, ANSWER Colorblindness is sex linked trait. Females are XX and Males are XY. The colorblind gene is only on the X chromosome so if a male has the gene on the X chromosome then he will be colorblind. Females can have it on one X chromosome, but not the other and not be colorblind; however, they are a carrier and can pass it on. For a female to be colorblind both X chromosomes must have the gene.
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 there more colorblind males than there are colorblind females?
Colorblindness is a trait that is linked to our X chromosome - it's a sex-linked, recessive trait that is attached to the X chromosome.For males, the 23rd pair is XY, and for females, XX.The trait for colorblindness lies on the X chromosome and can either be dominant or recessive. (For my example, we'll just say X' for recessive and X dominant for simplicity's sake.)Females have the advantage of having two X chromosomes. I won't go in to specific detail, but the possible combinations of chromosomes for females would be XX, X'X, XX', and X'X'. Only with X'X', would a female be colorblind.As for males, they only have one X chromosome, and the combinations are XY or X'Y.As you can see, the chances of colorblind males are much, much higher due to having only one X-chromosome, which is why you'll find more colorblind males than colorblind females.Of course, there is much more to it than just that, but that goes way beyond the scope of what I can remember. And I'm not too much in the mood of reopening my genetics textbook. ;)
Does your eye color effect the Way you see things?
Highly unlikely. Eye color and color blindness are not determined the same way within your DNA. -Eye color depends on what color your eyes your parents have and the dominance of specific traits and alleles. -Color blindness is linked primarily to gender. It's a sex linked mutation and occurs only on the X chromosome. Males are much more likely to be color blind than females, because it is linked only to the x chromosome. Males only have one x chromosome and females have two. For females to have the colorblind mutation, their father has to be colorblind and their mother has to be a carrier or colorblind. For a male to be colorblind their mother has to either be a carrier or color blind. It is much more likely that mother is carrier than colorblind.
Since the colorblindness is located on the X chromosome colorblindness?
Why is colorblindness a sex-linked trait? Descendants of colorblind hemophiliac man both disease are sex- linked? why do non of the children have either hemophila or colorblind
What part of speech is hemophiliac?
Hemophiliac is a noun. It's the term for a person who has hemophilia.
If a color blind man has a color blind daughter then the mother has to be color blind as well?
The father has to be colorblind for the daughter to be colorblind because both X chromosomes must have the colorblindness gene in females because the colorblind gene is recessive. If only the mother is color deficient, then she merely passes on the gene to one of the X chromosomes in a female. If both the mother and father are both colorblind, then both X chromosomes in the female are effected and the female is colorblind. There are two scenarios in which a daughter may be born colorblind. 1. The father is colorblind and the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene. The daughter will be either colorblind or a carrier of the colorblind gene. 2. The father and mother are both colorblind. If this is the case, then all of the children will be born colorblind.
Why is satoko colour blind?
Because Satoshi is also colorblind; they are twins so she somehow inherented the trait so that they both share it. However in reality females only carry a 0.05% chance of being colorblind, while males carry a whole 8%. Females are most of the time immune thanks to their extra chromosome which men lack; So she's quite unlucky if you think about it.
Witch colors are dogs colorblind from?
Dogs are not colorblind naturally, but if they have a problem and are colorblind it can be any color.
How come females don't suffer fomr hemophilia?
Females are much less likely to suffer from hemophilia because it is a recessive X linked genetic disorder. Women, having the chromosomal configuration of XX would need both X chromosomes to carry the marker for hemophilia because it is a recessive gene. Whereas men, with the chromosomal configuration of Xy do not have a "backup" X chromosome so if their only X chromosome has the hemophiliac trait, then that man will be a hemophiliac.
