Color blindness is not blindness; it is the inabilty to tell certain hues from certain other hues. It can be mild to severe. Red/Green color blindness is the most common. Probabaly about 5% of the general population in some degree. Data has been produced about specific populations and samples; however, there are no definitive global statistics. .

yes, although not all the persons who have the color blindness 'genes' actually suffer its effects. they can be just carriers, who pass on the genes to the next generation. fyi: mostly males are affected by color blindness


A male who has normal vision marries a female who is a carrier for colorblindness can they have a colorblind daughter?

Assuming that the man who has normal vision is homozygous for normal vision, the couple's daughter will either be homozygous for normal vision or heterozygous (normal vision but carrier for color blindness) for normal vision. In light of this, the couple's daughter will not be color blind.


What type of level of measurement is dress color in statistics?

Dress color is measured on a nominal level in statistics. This type of measurement categorizes data without a specific order or ranking, as colors represent distinct categories (e.g., red, blue, green) that cannot be quantitatively compared. Each color is simply a label, and the data can be used for counting or frequency analysis.


What is the amplitude if the frequency is 52 Hz?

There's no mathematical connection between amplitude and frequency. Knowing one doesn't make it possible to calculate the other. High-pitched sounds can be loud or soft. So can low-pitched ones. It's a little bit like asking: If the car drove 240 miles today, what color is it ?


What does cone system mean?

The cone system refers to the photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that are responsible for color vision and visual acuity in bright light conditions. There are three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light—short (blue), medium (green), and long (red). Together, they enable humans to perceive a wide range of colors through a process called color vision. Dysfunction in the cone system can lead to color blindness or other visual impairments.

In a survey 16 women out of 20 000 were found to be colour blind What is the expected frequency of colour blind males in this population?

Not all forms of color blindness are hereditary. There are three distinct types of hereditary color blindness, each with different frequencies in the human population, and with distinct genetic causes. Red-green color blindness is more common among males than females, but blue-yellow color blindness is not. Talking about color blindness in general, there is no reliable ratio of male-to-female prevalence.
