- The number in this picture is 74. A red and green color blind person would have no idea there was even a number there. To them it would just look like a circle.
- Color blindness- Ten million men in the world are color blind (red and green are seen as identical). Interestingly enough only 600,000 women have the same disorder. That's because the mutation is only located on the X chromosome. Men only have one X chromosome so they have a much bigger chance of getting the disease. Women have two X chromosomes so their chances of getting it are much higher because the mutation must occur on both chromosomes.
- Being red and green color blind is the most common type of color blindness around.
- It can also be called deuteranopia-green blindness, deuteranomaly-green weakness, protanopia-red blindness, protanomlay-red weakness, and Daltonism.
- It is called Daltonism because John Dalton and his brother were both severally colorblind.
- He also wrote the first scientific paper on red and green color blindness.
2. Problems of color blindness-people may not be able to differentiate between red and green traffic signals. Also, if you were and your friends were out in the sun, you may not be able to know how red you/your friends are getting.
3. Severity of color blindness-Color blindness can range from being very severe of just moderate. Even in the moderate stages the entire color spectrum is affected, not just red and green. Depending on the severity is where you may experience deuteranopia or protanopia which is complete blindness of both red and green.
The colors on this sheet would be examples of colors confused by a color blind person depending on the severity of it.
1. It's because the mutation is located on the X chromosome. Because men have on X chromosome and one Y chromosome, the chances of a man getting the disease is much higher. Because women have two X chromosomes, and the mutation must occur to both chromosomes, their chances of being color blind are much lower.
ReplyDelete2. Deuteranopia in color blind people is complete green blindness, and deuteranomaly is just green weakness. Protanopia is red blindness,and protanomlay is red weakness.3
3. Some problems of color blindness are not being able to differentiate between traffic signals, brake lights and reading certain colored signs.
4. Some colors commonly confused by a red-green colorblind person are red and green.
