what type of mutation is caused by red green color blindness?
it can be, but it isn't always, as my father and great grandfather have it but I don't
recessive
It is sex-linked
Skin color is determined by multiple genes with a polygenic inheritance pattern. This means that several genes contribute to skin color, and the variation in these genes leads to a wide range of skin tones in populations. This inheritance pattern allows for a continuous spectrum of colors rather than distinct categories.
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.
In a pedigree chart, color blindness is typically represented by shading in the symbol of affected individuals. Males are usually shown as squares and females as circles. The inheritance pattern of color blindness is usually X-linked recessive, where males are more commonly affected than females. The chart can help track how the condition is passed down through generations in a family.

Colour blindness:- 1. A defect in vision, probably genetic inheritance. 2. Not discriminating on the basis of the colour of someones skin.
