What are the chances with someone with genetic colorblindness passing it to thei!


Question: include possible scenarios please


Answers: include possible scenarios please

Colorblindness is passed down through the x genes so males are more likely to get this considering they have only one. For a female to get it, both of her x genes have to contain colorblindness. This trait has to be dominant though for it to affect the person. So it all depends on the parents genes for the possibilities.

One in every 10 men are or have some kind of color blindness, I'm color blind, but no one else in my family is color blind, so the chances are slim.

it goes by every other generation, carried by the male genes

My father was colorblind. I am not. If I had male children then there is a 50% chance they would be colorblind and 100% chance they would carry the colorblind gene for their children.
