from colour blindness and not the female?
IT​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is sex-linked: genetic red–green colour blindness affects males more than females, because the genes for the red and green color receptors are located on the X chromosome, of which males have only one and females have two.

Answer 2

Explanation:

People who have a colour vision deficiency have difficulty seeing some colours or see them differently from other people. Colour vision deficiency is often inherited, and affects more males than females. Out of 20 males, it is likely that one or two will have a colour vision problem.

The term colour vision deficiency is more accurate than the term ‘colour blind’. People who can't see all colours can still see some colours, and will see other things, such as fine detail, as clearly as people with full colour vision.

In the most common form of colour vision deficiency, people cannot see the red and green components of colours. They may confuse red and green with each other or with yellow.
