What is a physical trait determined by inherited genes?

Eye color is a physical trait that is determined by inherited genes. The specific combination of genes inherited from parents determines the color of an individual's eyes.


Is hair colour inherited environmental or both?

Hair color is primarily inherited, determined by genetics passed down from parents. However, environmental factors like sun exposure, chemicals in hair products, and aging can also influence hair color.

Characteristic that is inherited that can be either dominant or recessive?

Eye color is an example of a characteristic that can be inherited as either dominant or recessive. Factors such as skin tone, hair color, and height can also be inherited in a similar manner.


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.

Color-blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. A male who is color-blind marries a heterozygous woman. What percent of their total children will be color-blind?

In this scenario, the male with color-blindness has the genotype X^cY (where X^c represents the X chromosome with the color-blind trait). The heterozygous woman has the genotype X^cX (one normal vision X and one color-blind X). Their potential offspring can inherit either X^c or X from the mother and either X^c or Y from the father. This results in a 50% chance of having color-blind sons (X^cY) and a 50% chance of having daughters who are carriers (X^cX) but not color-blind. Therefore, 25% of their total children will be color-blind (only the sons can be color-blind in this case).


Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait A woman who has a color-blind mother and a father with normal color vision marries a?

man with normal color vision. Since the woman is a carrier of the red-green color blindness gene (inherited from her color-blind mother), there is a 50% chance that any son they have will be color-blind, as he would inherit the X chromosome with the color-blind gene from his mother. Daughters have a 50% chance of being carriers like their mother but will have normal color vision since they would inherit a normal X chromosome from their father.

A color blind son inherited this trait from?

his mother because color blindness is a sex-linked trait that is found on the X chromosome, which is inherited from the mother, as opposed to the Y chromosome, which is inherited from the father. So a male can only inherit the gene for color blindness from his mom.


How does a color blind test work?

they have two separate colors set in a pattern, if your color blind or partially color blind, you won't see that pattern. If you can, you are not color blind or not blind to the differences betweem those two colors
