Why colour blindness is more common in men than in women?

Dear student 
Color blindness is generally much more common in boys than in girls, since the red and green pigment genes involved in color vision are located on the X chromosome.

HI FRIEND

Why is color blindness more common in males?

A daughter can become a carrier in one of two ways – she can acquire the ‘gene’ from a carrier mother or from a colour blind father. This is why red/green colour blindness is far more common in men than women. Blue colour blindness affects both men and women equally, because it is carried on a non-sex chromosome.

The genes that can give you red-green color blindness are passed down on the X chromosome. Since it's passed down on the X chromosome, red-green color blindness is more common in men. This is because: Males have only 1 X chromosome, from their mother.
