Color blindness is a defect in the x chromosone. Women always provide an X chromosone in their eggs. Men can either deliver an X or a Y chromosone in their sperm. Both men (XY) and women (XX) carry it. But it is more prevalent in men because they only have one X chromosone, whereas women have two X chromozones and it is very unlikely that both would be defective.

Which parental pair could produce female with color blindness?
X' = color blindnessX'X'-- X --X'Yis a cross that could lead to a color blind female as the mother is homozygous recessive and the father's X chromosome is the recessive color blind trait.
How is color blind inherited?
Males inherit the gene from their mothers.
Are women prone to color blindness than man?
Studies show that color blindness affects 8% of Caucasian men and only 0.5% of Caucasian women. Therefore, while the color deficiency is mostly a male dominated affliction, some women are also affected. It is believed that color-blindness comes from a gene on the X chromosome and thus would be part of life from birth. However, it has been discovered that color-blindness can occur with some diseases such as liver disease.
Explain why the incidence of color blindness is higher in male than females?
Overall, colorblindness is much more common in males than females due to the fact that it is a sex-linked trait. The gene for colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome. Since this is a recessive condition, males will be more likely to express it due to the fact they only have one X chromosome while the females have two.
What Evidence of color blindness is recessive x linked trait?
Inheritance pattern: Color blindness is caused by a recessive X-linked trait, meaning the gene responsible for color vision is located on the X chromosome. Transmission: Since males have only one X chromosome, a single copy of the recessive gene will result in color blindness. Females need to inherit two copies of the gene to be color blind. Prevalence: Color blindness occurs more frequently in males because they have a higher chance of inheriting the gene from their carrier mothers.
Which parental pair could produce female with color blindness?
X' = color blindnessX'X'-- X --X'Yis a cross that could lead to a color blind female as the mother is homozygous recessive and the father's X chromosome is the recessive color blind trait.
Is the color blindness gene also present on the Y chromosome?
No - the colour blindness gene is only found on the X chromosome.

Color blindness is a recessive trait. The gene for color blindness is on the X-chromosome. The family tree below shows the trait of color blindness. The only unknown is the mother in the first generation?
(Apex Learning) She has at least one recessive color blindness allele.
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.
Is color blindness a dominant or a recessive trait?
Color blindness is a recessive trait, meaning that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the gene for color blindness (one from each parent) in order to be color blind. If an individual inherits only one copy of the gene, they are considered a carrier and will not exhibit color blindness.
Does color blindness have gene therapy?
Yes, I learned about that is school last year.
Color blindness is a sex linked gene . Males are more likely to be color blind than females because color blindness is?
Color blindness is typically caused by mutations in genes located on the X chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), so if they inherit the X chromosome with the color blindness gene, they will express the trait. In contrast, females have two X chromosomes (XX), so they would need to inherit the gene from both parents to exhibit color blindness, making it less common among females. This sex-linked inheritance pattern explains why color blindness is more prevalent in males than in females.
Do you get your eye color from your parent?
Yes you get your eye color from your parent. The parent that carries one dominant gene and one recessive gene for a specific eye color and the other parent carries two recessive genes for a different eye color, you will get the eye color of the parent who carries the dominant and recessive gene. In other words, the dominant gene trumps the recessive gene. In another scenario, if both parents carry two recessive genes for a specific eye color, then you will inherit the recessive gene of that color.
