Question

Color blindness primarily affects

Answer 1

Answer: Males.

Explanation:

Colorblindness is considerably more prevalent among men than women because it usually appears due to a genetic condition inherited through the x-chromosome. Somebody with both an x-chromosome and a y-chromosome simply requires one x-chromosome to be defective. On the other hand, if you have two x-chromosomes, both have to be defective to develop colorblindness. Since women tend to have two x-chromosomes (XX), and men only one (XY), men have more chances of having colorblindness.

Answer 2

The answer is males because Males are more likely to be color blind than females as the genes are responsible for the most well known forms of color blindness are on the X chromosome. As females have two X chromosomes, a imperfection in one is usually made up for by the other, while males only have one X chromosome. Color blindness can also result from physical or chemical damage to the eye, optic nerve, or parts of the brain.
