Question

question 3 of 11 according to mendels laws, how is color blindness most commonly inherited? as an autosomal dominant trait as a y - linked trait as an x - linked recessive trait as an autosomal recessive trait

Explanation:

Color - blindness is a common genetic disorder. It is most frequently inherited as an X - linked recessive trait. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, and since they have only one X chromosome, if it carries the recessive allele for color - blindness, they will be color - blind. Females have two X chromosomes, so they need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele to be color - blind.

Answer:

C. As an X - linked recessive trait
