i don't know... is there a genetic connection???

Im wondering the same thing. Is there a genetic connection? I concluded that there is not an genetic connection, that dark hair has dark eyes for example. But i do however thing that there is a environmental connection. Both hair and eye color is effected but the environment (sunny, not sunny)

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.


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.


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.


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.


How is colour blindness passed on?

Color blindness is primarily an inherited genetic condition, passed down through specific genes on the X chromosome. It is more common in males because they have only one X chromosome, meaning if the gene is present on that chromosome, they will exhibit color blindness. Females are less likely to be color blind because they have two X chromosomes, so they would need to inherit the gene from both parents to be affected.

If gene related to color blindness is dominant one compared to other genes of father or mother, then the boy inherit the gene (character).
