Yes. A person is color blind if all his or her X chromosomes have the defective gene. A man have one X chromosome, and a woman has two. Thus:
If only the father is color blind
- The probability that the son is color blind is 0%
- The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0%
- The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100%
If the mother is a bearer of the defective gene, but is not color blind, and the father is not color blind
- The probability that the son is color blind is 50%
- The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0%
- The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 50%
If the mother is a bearer of the defective gene but not color blind, and the father is color blind
- The probability that the son is color blind is 50%
- The probability that the daughter is color blind is 50%
- The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100%
If the mother is color blind and the father is not
- The probability that the son is color blind is 100%
- The probability that the daughter is color blind is 0%
- The probability that the daughter is a bearer of the defective gene is 100%
If both parents are color blind
- The probability that the child, regardless of gender, is color blind is 100%
recessive
It means genes are in sex chromosomes. Sex genes are related
it means that you inherit this form of disorder either from your mother or father's sex chromosomes. For example- color blindness or Haemophillia.
The sex linked genes cause genetic disorders on the basis of gender. For example color blindness is human is located on the X chromosome and is reflected in males more frequently.
Sex-linked disorders are those that are inherited from genes located on the sex chromosomes, X or Y in humans. Some examples of X-linked disorders are Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, hemophilia and red-green colorblindness. An example of a Y-linked disorder is called hairy ears.
color blindness is one
It is sex-linked
They are both sex-linked traits.
Some examples of sex-linked disorders are Hemophilia and Color-blindness.
Color blindness
Red-Green color blindness, or hemophilia.
color blindness
recessive
Some examples of sex-linked traits include color blindness, hemophilia, and male pattern baldness. These traits are carried on the sex chromosomes, with color blindness and hemophilia being more common in males due to their inheritance on the X chromosome.
Many different disorders are sex-linked. Saying something is sex-linked indicates that the gene causing the disorder can be found on one of the sex chromosomes, certain muscle disorders for example are sex-linked
color blindness is one
Hemophilia and color blindness are examples of recessive sex-linked traits
