Answer 2

Answer:

The inability of a person to recognise red colour is called Protanomaly.

Explanation:

• Protanomaly is a type of colour-blindness.
• Colour-blindness is a type of genetic disease.
• In colour-blindness, the cones cells responsible for detecting specific wavelength of visible light (colours) fail to develop on the retina of the eyes.
• It is a type of X-linked inheritance with recessive genotype, which means the genes whose deformity results in the disease is located on the X-chromosome.
• Being a disease with a recessive genotype, it mostly affects the males, as they have only one X chromosome.
• Females have two X chromosomes. In a heterozygous female, the effect of the defective gene in one X chromosome is masked by the normal gene present in the other X chromosome. The heterozygous females are the carriers of the defective gene.
• In homozygous recessive females, there are two X chromosomes possessing the defective gene, so the defective gene can express itself, resulting, in the development of colour-blindness. However, the frequency is low.
