The answer to this question is from the medical perspective No. Men do see colors. But I feel this question is being asked no in the strictest definition of Can Men see color but why are men less able to see the difference in colors that most women experience. The difference is in the makeup and percentage of rods and cones. males having a slight increase in rods vs cones. Mes see movement better and have a slight increase in night vision. Women as a contrast have a slight increase in the number of cones the color receptor. Thus the more refined ability to distinguish one color vs another color. These variations are slight and one man may be more color adept that one woman this is just a generalization over a large group.

Why are men most likely to be color blind than women?

Men are not just 'likely' to be colour blind, they are the 'only ones' who can suffer from colour blindness. This is because colour blindness is cused by an x-linked recessive gene, that is it can occur only if a person carries 2 of these x-linked recessive traits. Now, females have one X and one Y chromosome,so in no way, they can have 2 X chromosomes.(exception-Klinefelter's syndrome, where thery is XXY trisomy) Only men can have 2 X-chromosomes. Hence, females can only carry the colour blindness gene, while men can 'suffer' from colour blindness.

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.
