Yes but it is more likely in males. The reason for this is women have two X chromosomes, and men have one X and one Y chromosome. The gene for color sight is found on the X chromosome. If a woman has a defective gene on her X chromosome, she has another to back it up. If a man has a defective gene on his X chromosome, he does not. Both X chromosomes have to be defective in the same way for a woman to be color blind, which is the reason why it is so rare. Male colorblindness, on the other hand, is quite common because the gene is not necessary and therefore the people with it don't get weeded out of the Gene Pool. If a necessary gene is defective, you die, and it does not get passed on. It has to mutate again.
The probability of a child being color blind depends on the parents' genetic makeup. If the mother is a carrier of the color blindness gene located on the X chromosome and the father does not carry the gene, the chances are 0% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness. If the father is color blind and the mother is a carrier, the chances are 50% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness.
The most common type of color blindness is a sex-linked trait, meaning the gene is carried on the chromosomes that determine sex. In this case, it's carried on the X chromosome. There are other types of color blindness that are inherited that are not sex-linked, so it doesn't matter which parent is the carrier. Males are XY, and therefore can pass either an X or Y to their offspring, making them the actual determinants of the sex of the offspring. Females are XX, and so can only contribute an X. In the case of color blindness, since males only get one X, if that has the gene for color blindness on it, the male will be color blind (in this case, we'll call that one "x" rather than "X". In the case of females, she has two - so if only ONE of her X has the gene, she will be a carrier, but will not have it (Xx). If her father is colorblind (xY), and her mother is a carrier (Xx), she has a 50% chance of being colorblind (she'll either be "xx" or "Xx). If her mother IS colorblind (xx) and her father is too (xY), then there is only one outcome: "xx". So, if a color blind mother (xx) has children with a non color blind father (XY), there are the possibilities: xX, xY. Her daughters will be carriers, and her sons will be color blind. If a color blind mother (xx) has children with a color blind father (xY), then these are the possibilities: xx, xY. All children will be color blind. To sum up, a mother with sex-linked colorblindness will always have color blind sons, and daughters will have a 50% chance of being color blind, depending on if the father is or not.
It is called x-linked alleles. It is rare for a female to have color blindness because the allele must be passed from both parents. Males only need one allele to be color blind.With the equation, color blind female and non-color blind male reproduce. Each son has a 50% chance of developing the disorder.
