When I was a little Thomas I used to laugh at my cousin when he drew green people. He had problem with green/caucasian skin color. Maybe he still do, I don't know. Wouldn't laugh though.

Apologies - my bad, I checked up on google and it's just highly unlikely for women to be colourblind, cus it generally only effects the Y chromomabob :confused:

Wow, you learn something new every day :D

oh, edit: I also learnt that it's your dads fault you cannot see properly :o :D :p

it's on the x chromosome. the thing is, for women, it would have to be on BOTH x chromosomes for colorblindness to manifest itself. that means that men, who only have one x chromosome, can more readily manifest that kind of mutation.

exactly. women can get it if it's on both x chromosomes, which is very rare.
