Kòm mwen Reader debouya, ou ta deja konnen sa kapab Istwa. Kòm mwen kouvri nan ki avèg koulè travay ak seksyon an Page frekans estatistik, fi yo kapab depoze yon koulè avèg mèsi, men gen de X kwomozòm yo pi gen mwens chans pou. Si youn nan kwomozòm yo se X jenetikman mute, youn lan pral pran Precedence nòmal ak fanm lan ap rete gade byen, men yon konpayi asirans – ofri nenpòt pitit gason li gen yon 50% chans pou yo te avèg koulè, ak nenpòt pitit fi yon 50% chans pou tou ke yo te yon konpayi asirans. Gen lòt fason gen koulè avèg; nan tpoma elatriye, Sepandan to a ensidan trè ba konpare ak eritaj jenetik ki avèg koulè. rezon sa a ki egziste evidan Istwa, avèk jiska 10% nan moun nan pi fò peyi soufri kèk fòm avèg koulè, men mwens pase 1% nan fanm, li mande a pa kèk moun poze kesyon an!

As my diligent reader, you would already know this to be myth. As covered in my how color blindness works section and the prevalence statistics page, women can indeed be color blind but thanks to having two X chromosomes they are much less likely to be. If one of the X chromosomes is genetically mutated, the normal one will take precedence and the woman will see properly but remain a carrier – offering any sons she has a 50% chance of being color blind, and any daughters a 50% chance of also being a carrier. There are other ways to acquire color blindness; through trauma etc, however the rate of occurrence is extremely low compared with genetic inheritance of color blindness. The reason this myth exists is obvious, with up to 10% of men in most countries suffering some form of color blindness, but less than 1% of women, it’s no wonder some people ask the question!
