How many of their female children might be expected to be color blind dwarfs?

If a person with color blindness and dwarfism has a daughter, she would need to inherit the color blindness gene from her father and the dwarfism gene from her mother to be a color-blind dwarf. This would occur 25% of the time if the two conditions are caused by different genes and they independently assort.


A color-blind woman mates with a male with normal color vision Which of these results would indicate that color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive allele?

If the couple has a color-blind son, it would indicate that color blindness is caused by an X-linked recessive allele. This is because sons inherit their single X chromosome from their mother, who carries the recessive allele for color blindness but does not express it due to her second X chromosome providing the normal color vision gene.


Man who is color blind marries a woman not colorblind and doesn't have recessive allele will their children be carriers of the color blind allele?

50%AnswerColourblindness is a sex-linked recessive mutation i.e. the mutation is carried on the X chromosome. If a colour blind man married a carrier woman they could produce a carrier daughter, a colour blind daughter, a normal son or a colour blind son. The probability of each phenotype occurring is 25%.If XC represents the normal allele for seeing colour and Xc represents the colour blind allele the genotypes of the possible offspring would be as follows:Carrier daughter = XCXcColour blind daughter = XcXcNormal son = XCYColour blind son = XcYThis information is incorrect. In fact a woman can be color blind. My mother is color blind as are my brothers. My sister and I are not though we carry the gene. I have two daughters and one is color blind and the other is not color blind.The information I gave is not incorrect - I have included the possibility of that 'mating' producing a colour blind female child.


Is it more common for girls or boys to be color blind?

Boys. The gene that causes the varying degrees of color blindness is recessive and must be present on the X Chromosome. Since boys have only one X Chromosome, it is more common for boys to be color blind than girls. It is still possible for a girl to be color blind, but it is significantly rarer. The problem affects 8% of Caucasian males and 0.5% of Caucasian females.


In a survey 16 women out of 20 000 were found to be colour blind What is the expected frequency of colour blind males in this population?

Not all forms of color blindness are hereditary. There are three distinct types of hereditary color blindness, each with different frequencies in the human population, and with distinct genetic causes. Red-green color blindness is more common among males than females, but blue-yellow color blindness is not. Talking about color blindness in general, there is no reliable ratio of male-to-female prevalence.

I presume you mean 'a blind person'. Impossible to describe colours to a person who had been blind from birth.


How will you convince a blind person with color red?

If you tell a blind person that a particular object is red in color, the blind person may choose to believe you or not to believe you, based upon his or her experience of your general reliability in the past. I have a blind friend, whom I have known for decades, and if I tell him that something is red, he will believe me, because he knows that I would not lie to him.

If you were a blind since birth what will be your favorite color why?

My favorite color would be black. CORRECTION, you could not have a favorite color, cause you could not see any colors! When your blind, you can not see ANYTHING, not even the black that we see when closing our eyes. To get a real opinion from a blind person you should probably go out and find one because you're not typing in braille. Actually, I think that if you were always blind, you wouldn't even know the meaning of the word. Shape would also be an unknown thing to a blind person. It would just be another word in the infinite amount of words in the world. Confused, anyone?
