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)
Color blindness is typically caused by mutations in the OPN1LW or OPN1MW genes located on the X chromosome, which encode for the red and green cone photopigments in the eyes. These mutations affect the ability to distinguish between certain colors, particularly reds and greens.
Red-green color blindness is a sex-linked trait. The receptors of red and green color are found on the X chromosome; therefore, men are more likely to be red-green color blind since they only have one. Blue-yellow color blindness is found on chromosome 7, and is equally distributed between men and women.
The question is what gene affects vision and causes colorblindness.
The typical form (95% of all the various types) of colorblindness in humans is red-green colorblindness and the gene is are located on the X chromosome. There are many variations of the allele causing an array of variations in severity.
There are several different genes involved, depending on the type of color blindness (e.g. red-green, blue-yellow, blue-green, total)
The allele that causes red-green colorblindness is a recessive allele located on the X sex chromosome, so it is sex-linked.
The majority of affected individuals are males. Females are carriers, but are not normally affected. This indicates that the X chromosome is one of the locations for color blindness.

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?
If the father carries the gene for color blindness on his X chromosome and the mother is a carrier of the gene, there is a 50% chance that their daughter could inherit the gene for color blindness and be affected. The daughter would need to inherit the X chromosome carrying the gene from both parents to have color blindness.
Are women prone to color blindness than man?
Color blindness is more common in men than in women, as it is a genetic condition linked to the X chromosome. Men have only one X chromosome, so if it carries the gene for color blindness, they will be affected. Women have two X chromosomes, so they are less likely to inherit the gene on both chromosomes.
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.
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.
Are women prone to color blindness than man?

Men have only one X chromosome, so if it carries the gene for color blindness, they will be affected. Women have two X chromosomes, so they are less likely to inherit the gene on both chromosomes.

Does color blindness have gene therapy?
Yes, I learned about that is school last year.
Where is the color blindness gene found?
It is found on the non homologous part of the X chromosome.
Which describes he allele that causes color blindness?
It is sex-linked
What anti-tuberculosis drug causes color blindness?
Ethambutol
Will a boy who's father is color blind inherite the gene?
If gene related to color blindness is dominant one compared to other genes of father or mother, then the boy inherit the gene (character).
