You can inherit it from your parents, so it is automatically genetic. Color blindness is a recessive trait, so you only inherit it if both your parents carry the gene.

What foods help in the prevention of color blindness?

There are no specific foods that can prevent color blindness. Color blindness is usually inherited and cannot be prevented through diet. It is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the photoreceptor cells in the eyes.


How is color blind inherited?

Males inherit the gene from their mothers.


If a male has red -green color blindness show his genotype and explain who be inherited his recessive allele form.?

A male with red-green color blindness has the genotype X^cY, where X^c represents the X chromosome carrying the recessive allele for color blindness. He inherited the recessive allele from his mother, who must have at least one X chromosome with the color blindness allele (either X^cX or X^cY). Since males inherit their X chromosome from their mothers and their Y chromosome from their fathers, the mother's genotype determines whether the son will express the condition.


What is an inherited disorder that appears more often in males than females?

Color blindness is an inherited disorder that appears more often in males than females. The most common form is red-green color blindness, which is due to a mutation on the X chromosome that is more likely to affect males since they have only one X chromosome.


Explain how red-green color blindness is inherited?

well actually i very much disagree, i believe that color blindness is a sex-linked trait; therefore, a girl (written Xc ) who receives one recessive allele for one red-green blindness WILL NOThave the trait, however a boy who receives one recessive WILL be recessive.

What is the probability of having a child with color blindness?

It could be inherited by the parents, that would be very likely, If the parents don't have color blindness, its not very likely.


How are hemophilia and red-green color blindness inherited?

Both are sex-linked traits, inherited through the X chromosome.


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.

What is the life expectancy of someone with the disease blindness?

Color blindness that is inherited is present in both eyes and remains constant over an individual's entire life. Some cases of acquired color vision loss are not severe, may appear in only one eye, and last for only a short time.
