How do the three types of colorblindness differ in genotype and phenotype?
vfiekz [6]

Normal colour vision (trichromacy) refers to vision that uses all three types of light cones. People with defected trichromatic vision will be colour blind to some extent and these conditions are called anomalous trichromacy. Three types anomalous trichromacy ( one type of cone perceives light slightly) :

1. Protanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to red light

2. Deuteranomaly  - phenotype:  reduced sensitivity to green light

3. Tritanomaly – phenotype: reduced sensitivity to blue  

People can also have color blindess as the result of mutation, when loss of function of one cone occurs. This condition is called dichromacy. If there is complete color blindness or monochromacy, the person can’t distinguish any color from grey.

Color blindness is an inherited genetic disorder resulted from mutations on the X chromosome.

What is the role of your kidneys in compensating for low levels of oxygen
TEA [102]

Explanation:

When there are low oxygen levels in blood, the blood pH tends to lower. This is because there is an increased level of carbon dioxide in the blood that is converted to carbonic acid by carbonic anhydrase. When carbon acid dissociates, into H⁺ and HCO₃⁻ . The H⁺ influences the increase in acidity of the blood.   The kidneys will excrete most of the H⁺ and retain most of the HCO₃⁻ to help maintain the right blood pH. However, most of blood pH homeostasis is maintained largely by the lungs.
