Why are men most likely to be color blind than women?
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.
Is color blindness rare?
There are several types of color blindness that occur, Deuteranomaly occurs in 5% of the male human population Protanomaly occurs in 1% of the male human population, Other types (such as Tritanomaly which is not sex linked) are more rare,
Who does color blindness mostly effect?
Everyone can be affected by monochromatic color blindness. Monochromatic color blindness is a condition where your color blind in only one eye.
What colors are usually affected when somebody is diagnosed as being color blind?
Colour blindness is an inherited condition that usually affects males more than females. Those who are diagnosed with colour blindness typically have difficulty distinguishing the colours green, red, and blue. One can also have difficulty seeing a mixture of these colours.

colour blindness
Is colour blindness dominant or regressive?
Regressive.
Is colour blindness a hereditary trait?
yes
How do you cure color blindness in humans?
you cannot cure Colour blindness is hereditary, it's in your genes.
Why is colour blindness more common in males?
The genes that produce photopigments are carried on the X chromosome; if some of these genes are missing or damaged, color blindness will be expressed in males with a higher probability than in females because males only have one X chromosome (in females, a good gene on only one of the two X chromosomes is enough to yield the needed photopigments).
Does blindness affect a certain age group?
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
How does colour blindness affect your chromosomes?
Lamprey Disease
Which chromosome is connected with colorblindness?
There are many chromosomes linked to colour blindness. If you are reading a really old text book or your teacher is a fossil and hasn't done any work since the 60's then they will say that colour blindness is linked to the sex chromosomes. More men than women have Red-Green colour blindness as the "dodgy" copy of the gene is on the X chromosome which males only get one copy of. Females have two X chromosomes and so are more likely to get at least one "good" copy of the gene. Yawn, this is a lie, well its outdated science which is just as bad. Currently around half the human chromosomes linked to colour blindness in one way or another.
