Question: Is it possible to have a colorblind child!?
if i have a husband that is colorblind but i amnot colorblind nor a carrierWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
no, because

colorblindness is a recessive sex-linked disease
for son:
husband : unaffected Y chromosome
you: unaffected X chromosome

for daughter:
husband: affected X
you: unaffected X
(will be a carrier)Www@Answer-Health@Com

it is possible! if you have taken an optical test, the doctor shows you some cards with dots and you can see some letters, if you child is color blinded he woun't be able to distinguish the lettersWww@Answer-Health@Com

Most men are color blind to a degree, that is why they make the signals blue green instead of just green, so they can see them!. That is a true fact!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, with the colorblind gene on the X chromosome, you too would need to be colorblind!. Sons will not be carriers while all daughters will be!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
