PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Color Blindness is a Recessive Trait. It is located on the X chromosome.
Some of the symptoms are having trouble seeing red, green, and blue.
It is rare that one can't see color at all.
In most cases, the disease is inherited, but it can also form because of aging, injury, or side effects from medicine.

If a female has one defective gene, the normal one would protect her from being Color Blind and she will become a carrier.
