Color Vision Deficiency
•Is a condition where the retina (eye) is unable to distinguish colors correctly•It can either affect seeing the red and green (most common), blue and yellow, or all colors (monochromacy)•1 out of 12 men are affected and 1 out of 100 women have this condition

•It is sex linked
•Genetic red-green color blindness affects men much more often then women because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome of which men have one and women have two

Meaning concerning characteristics that are determined by genes carried on the sex chromosomes (on the X chromosome in particular)
Genetic
Other modes of inheritance include:DiabetesGlaucomaMacular degenerationAlzheimer’s DiseaseParkinson’s DiseaseMultiple Sclerosis
Chronic AlcoholismLeukemiaSickle Cell AnemiaCertain Medications used to treat heart problems, infections, and psychological problemsAgingChemical Exposure such as fertilizers

Each person has two alleles
Come from our parents
Capital letters are dominant and lower case letters are recessive genes D for color blindness
dfor non color blindnessDd for carrier of color blindness
The dominant gene and recessive genes carry the same traits, but the dominant trait overpowers the recessive

Questions:1.How many people have one or more unhealthy vision gene?
Questions:2.Why are the two 2nd generations girls carriers?
Questions:3. How many Homozygous Dominant people are present?

About 8% of all men are suffering from color blindness.
A father can’t pass his red-green color blindness on to his sons.
If a woman is red-green colorblind, all her sons will also be colorblind.
When using color correcting lenses you are wearing two differently colored lenses in your eyes.
More women than men are carriers of color blindness, even though they are not colorblind themselves.
Police officer, firefighter, and airline pilot are the most famous jobs which require normal color vision.
Color blindness is also called Daltonism, after the scientist John Dalton.
Monochromacy—also called achromatopsia—means you have only one type of color receptors (cones) in your eyes.
