A male who is colorblind marries a heterozygous womanWhat percent of their total children will be color-blind?

NOW. Colourblindness we will assume, is a Sex-Linked Disorder. Hence, the sex chromosomes are involved in determinig the phenotypes of the children. XY --male XX--female XbY--colourblind male XBXb --normal female Cross: (parents) Xby * XBXb F1 progeny/offspring XBXb, XbXb, XBY, XbY 50 % of the children will be colourblind. This is a very simple question. You also need to clarify within the question if it is sex linked or autosomal.


How do you know if your child is colour blind?

A child may be color blind if they have difficulty distinguishing certain colors or shades. They may also exhibit specific behaviors like difficulties matching colors, confusing colors, or describing colors differently than others. If you suspect your child may be color blind, it's best to consult with an eye care professional for a formal evaluation.


What are the offsprings when woman who is a carrier for colorblindness marries a man who has colorblindness?

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.


Can color blind people see white?

Yes, color blind people can see white because white is a achromatic color that does not require the ability to perceive color.


Are cats color blind like dogs?

No, cats are not color blind like dogs. They can see some colors, but their color vision is not as strong as that of humans.

What is the probability of color blindness if the father is color blind and the mother carries the trait?

All daughters are normal, half the sons are color blind. The above answer is incorrect. Half of the daughters are color blind and half of the sons are color blind. Since the father always donates color blindness, it is up to the mother in each case (in the son's case, the father is irrelevant) to determine if the child is color blind or not. Since she is a carrier, the chance is 50-50.


Do the parents have to be color blind in order for the kid to be color blind?

If the parent went blind due to an accident or a birth defect (born blind) then no. But if the parent has a disease that caused them to go blind then it is possible to inherit that as a child.

Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait A woman who has a color-blind mother and a father with normal color vision marries a?

man with normal color vision. Since the woman is a carrier of the red-green color blindness gene (inherited from her color-blind mother), there is a 50% chance that any son they have will be color-blind, as he would inherit the X chromosome with the color-blind gene from his mother. Daughters have a 50% chance of being carriers like their mother but will have normal color vision since they would inherit a normal X chromosome from their father.

What is the risk of a colour blind child in a family when father is colour blind and mother is normal?

if the child is a boy, 0%. if it's a girl, either 100% if the trait is dominant in the father or 50% if it is recessive. there is also the possibilty of the daughter having it but just being a carrier (has the disease but no signs of it)


When was Blind Chance created?

Blind Chance was created in 1981.


What is the duration of Blind Chance?

The duration of Blind Chance is 2.03 hours.


Does the mother or father pass on the color blind trait?

It depends. If the child is male, the person to pass the trait on must be the mother. She may be a hybrid or color-blind herself for her to be capable of doing this. If the child is female, the father must be color-blind in addition to the mother being a carrier. Both have to donate the recessive gene to their daughter.


Color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait A color-blind man has a daughter with normal color vision She mates with a male who has normal color vision What is the expected phenotypic ratio of t?

The expected phenotypic ratio for their offspring is 1:1, with a 50% chance of being color blind (male with the X-linked recessive trait) and a 50% chance of having normal color vision. This is because the daughter is a carrier of the recessive allele, which can be passed on to her offspring regardless of the father's color vision status.


The gene for color blindness is a recessive allele located on the x chromosome. If a color blind man and color blind woman have one son and three daughters how many will be color blind?

Women can not be colorblind, only men. For questions like these a punnett square is useful. Men can not carry the colorblind trait, but women can. I know this is kind of confusing. When a carrier ( a woman with the color blind trait) has children with a man ( color blind or not) her kids will have 50% chance of having that trait. If its a girl, she will be the carrier. If its a boy, he will have the colorblind trait. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Theoreticaly, 1 of the daughters will be the carrier, and the son will have a 50% chance of being colorblind. Women can be colorblind, its just rare. About every 6400 women one is colour blind and with men, every 80 men 1 is colour blind.
