colorblind means that colors look like different colors to a colorblind person Colorblindness is caused by a defect in the X chromosome which is why males (XY) are more likely to be colourblind than females (XX). In a female the defect would have to be in both chromosomes, in the male the defect just has to be in one. Most commonly colorblind people cannot distinguish between red and brown or blue and green.

Being colorblind means having a reduced ability to see certain colors or distinguish between them. This can be due to a deficiency in the cones of the eye that detect color. People who are colorblind may have difficulty differentiating between certain colors, like red and green.

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.


Are African grey parrots colour blind?

African grey parrots have the ability to see colors, including a wider spectrum than humans due to an additional type of photoreceptor in their retinas. They are not colorblind and can distinguish different colors.

What if Mary and her mother are both colorblind is Mary's father colorblind too?

If Mary's mother is colorblind, and therefore carries the colorblind gene on one of her X chromosomes, then Mary would inherit that gene as well. If Mary's father is colorblind, he would have to pass on his X chromosome with the colorblind gene to Mary, making her colorblind too. If only Mary's mother is colorblind, Mary's father is likely not colorblind.

Is a carrier for colorblindness is colorblind?

Not necessarily. The allele for colorblindness is recessive. For a female, in order to be colorblind she must have to recessive alleles for colorblindness. Example: XcXc would be colorblind. XCXc would be a carrier for colorblindness, but not colorblind. For a male, because colorblindness is a sex-linked gene, he only needs one allele to be colorblind. Example: XcY is colorblind. XCY is not colorblind.
