If a baby inherits two recessive genes for color blindness, they will express the condition, as color blindness is typically an X-linked recessive trait. This means that if the baby is male, he will have color blindness if he inherits the recessive gene from his mother. If the baby is female, she would need to inherit the recessive gene from both parents to be color blind. In either case, the child will have difficulty distinguishing certain colors, commonly red and green.
Yes, Color Blindness is recessive, Not dominant. :)

Men are not just 'likely' to be colour blind, they are the 'only ones' who can suffer from colour blindness. This is because colour blindness is cused by an x-linked recessive gene, that is it can occur only if a person carries 2 of these x-linked recessive traits. Now, females have one X and one Y chromosome,so in no way, they can have 2 X chromosomes.(exception-Klinefelter's syndrome, where thery is XXY trisomy) Only men can have 2 X-chromosomes. Hence, females can only carry the colour blindness gene, while men can 'suffer' from colour blindness.
Color blindness is an inherited trait that can be passed on through reproduction but it has some peculiarities. It is recessive and not very prevalent in the gene pool. Because of this, color blindness does not appear very often in the population. In addition, it is a sex-linked gene on the X chromosome. Thus males only have one gene to express color vision. If it happens to be the recessive allele, then males are color blind. Females, on the other hand, must have both alleles recessive in order to be color blind.source: ciese.org/curriculum/genproj/activity35.html
The only health downside to colour-blindness is the fact that you can't see colours.
The child will have black hair because the gene for black hair is dominant over the gene for red hair. Since the child inherits one gene for red hair from the mother (recessive) and one gene for black hair from the father (dominant), the dominant black hair gene will express itself. Therefore, the child's hair color will be black.
colour blindness
Regressive.
yes
you cannot cure Colour blindness is hereditary, it's in your genes.
No colour blindness does not affect a certain age group it can affect anyone but usually you are born with colour blindness its not like usually as you grow older you go blind its completely different
