Why is it impossible for a father to pass down red green color blindness to his son?
Boys have one X and one Y chromosome. Color blindness is found on the X chromosomes. Since boys will always get their X chromosome from their mother and their Y chromosome from their father, father's can never pass on red/green color blindness to their son's. However, since father's do pass their X chromosome to their daughters, they can pass on the trait to their daughters. In this case, daughters have two X chromosomes (one from their mother and one from their father), so they will NOT have red/green color blindness unless they received the defective gene from their mother AND their father. This is the reason that color blindness is 9 times more common in boys than girls.
Is it more common for girls or boys to be color blind?
Boys. The gene that causes the varying degrees of color blindness is recessive and must be present on the X Chromosome. Since boys have only one X Chromosome, it is more common for boys to be color blind than girls. It is still possible for a girl to be color blind, but it is significantly rarer. The problem affects 8% of Caucasian males and 0.5% of Caucasian females.
