a.
To determine:
The vision patterns of the woman, whose father is color blind, possessing one eye with normal color vision and one eye with color blindness.
Introduction:
In humans, red-color blindness is due to an X-linked recessive gene. Color-blindness or color vision deficiency is an inherited condition that affects males more frequently than females. Red-green color blindness is the common form of color-blindness. This disease occurs when light-sensitive cells in the retina fail to respond to the variations in wavelength of lights that enable people to see an array of colors.
