    This document contains a pedigree chart and information about colorblindness. The pedigree chart shows a family with a 50% chance of sons being colorblind and 100% chance of daughters being carriers. It then explains that colorblindness is the confusion of colors rather than inability to see them. The most common type is inherited and linked to the X chromosome, making it more prevalent in men. Symptoms are difficulty distinguishing shades of colors like red and green. There is no cure or treatment other than using colored filters.

    Color Blindness:

    Colorblindness, scientifically known as deficient color, is


    not the inability to see colors, it is the act of getting colors
    confused with one another. Although there are some people
    with true colorblindness, which is only the ability to see black
    and white, it is very rare. Colorblindness is usually inherited.
    Although it women can be colorblind, it is much more common
    in men because colorblindness is carried on the X chromosome,
    which men only have one of.

    Symptoms of colorblindness are not being able to


    distinguish shades of red and green, blue and yellow, or any
    colors. There is no other treatment for colorblindness other
    than the suggestion to wear a colored filter over your glasses.
