Can 2 persons with normal vision produce a color blind son?
Yes, it is possible. Color blindness is usually caused by a genetic mutation on the X chromosome. If both parents are carriers of the mutated gene, they can pass it on to their offspring, resulting in a color blind son.
What was the chance that the child will be color blind?
The probability of a child being color blind depends on the parents' genetic makeup. If the mother is a carrier of the color blindness gene located on the X chromosome and the father does not carry the gene, the chances are 0% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness. If the father is color blind and the mother is a carrier, the chances are 50% for a daughter and 50% for a son to inherit color blindness.
What is the probability that a woman whose father was color blind will have a son who is color blind?
50%. 1 of the two male offspring will definately be color blind. Do a punnett square with the father having normal vision and the mother being a carrier.
Does the daughter and son suffer from color blindness if their mother is suffering from the color blindness disorder?
If the mother is color blind, the son will be color blind. The daughter will only be color blind if the father is also color blind. As to if they will suffer from it, that depends on their self esteem and whether or not they choose to view themselves as a victim as their mother apparently does. It should be noted that although many people have color blindness, it is rare to actually suffer from it. One possible way that one might suffer is if s/he were attempting to disarm a bomb and could not tell what color the wires were.
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.
Do you really inherit eye color from your parents?
Through the X chromosome, usually from a mother, (whom does not show any signs of colour blindness, yet she is a CARRIER of the X chromosome) passed down to son. Males usually get this because they only posses ONE X, in their XY life.
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.
Father isn't colorblind mother is a carrier--one son is colorblind but the other is not how?
It is called x-linked alleles. It is rare for a female to have color blindness because the allele must be passed from both parents. Males only need one allele to be color blind.With the equation, color blind female and non-color blind male reproduce. Each son has a 50% chance of developing the disorder.
How can parents identify and support color blind toddlers in their early development?
Parents can identify color blindness in toddlers by observing if they have difficulty distinguishing between certain colors or if they consistently misidentify colors. To support color blind toddlers, parents can use contrasting colors, provide color labels, and encourage the use of other visual cues to help them navigate their environment effectively.
If your father is not colored blind but your son is where did you get the gene from that made your son color blind?
You can't tell with that amount of information. You'd need to know who in the family carried(s) the gene. Then you could see with a family tree.
Is the Ishihara Test the best color blind test?
Yes, that is one of the better tests for trying to discover if you or your son are color blind. Make sure that you talk to your doctor for the most accurate diagnosis and see what you can discover.
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.
