1 in 12 people have some sort of color deficiency. About 8% of men and 0.4% of women in the US.
0.38% of women are deuteranomalous (around 95% of all color deficient women).
0.005% of the population are totally colour blind.
0.003% of the population have tritanopia.
Protanomaly occurs in about 1% of males.
Deuteranomaly occurs in about 5% of males. It's the most common color deficiency.
Protanopia occurs in about 1% of males.
Deuteranopia occurs in about 1% of males.

If a mom colorblind and the father not colorblind what is the probability the child will be colorblind?
If the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene (XcX) and the father has normal color vision, the probability of their child being colorblind is 50%. This is because the child has a 50% chance of inheriting the Xc chromosome from the mother and developing colorblindness.
In humans normal color vision is dominant over colorblindness. A colorblind male marries a female who is a carrier for color blindness. What is the probability that a colorblind child would be born to?
The probability of a colorblind child being born is 50%. This is because the male passes his Y chromosome to all his sons, and since he is colorblind, his sons will inherit the colorblind gene from him. The daughters will inherit their X chromosome from the mother and have a 50% chance of being carriers like her.
Can your child receive ssi for being colorblind?
no
How do dogs get colorblind?
They are born colorblind, they don't just become it.
What is the probability that this couple will have a colorblind child?
Impossible to know without information about genes that the parents have. are the parents colorblind? etc.
Can you be born colorblind?
Yes
How do you have a colorblind son if neither parent is colorblind?
It is just the DNA lottery. If neither parent is colorblind that just means that one of them (or both of them) have recessive genes for colorblindness that happened to show up in this particular child.
What allele combination would will have a colorblind child?
carried on the x chromosome
How do you go colorblind?
You don't. It something you have to be born with.
How is colorblindness transferred from the parent to the child?
We know that if a father is colorblind and the mother is neither colorblind nor a carrier, then the sons will not be colorblind. So, using logic, that means that the father can't cause a son to become colorblind. Process of elimination would point towards whenever a son is colorblind that it comes from the mother. A diagram explaining how colorblindness is inherited can be viewed in the related links.
Can two persons with normal vision produce a colorblind son?
No they will produce a child who is colour blind.
If a color blind man has a color blind daughter then the mother has to be color blind as well?
The father has to be colorblind for the daughter to be colorblind because both X chromosomes must have the colorblindness gene in females because the colorblind gene is recessive. If only the mother is color deficient, then she merely passes on the gene to one of the X chromosomes in a female. If both the mother and father are both colorblind, then both X chromosomes in the female are effected and the female is colorblind. There are two scenarios in which a daughter may be born colorblind. 1. The father is colorblind and the mother is a carrier of the colorblind gene. The daughter will be either colorblind or a carrier of the colorblind gene. 2. The father and mother are both colorblind. If this is the case, then all of the children will be born colorblind.
