Question

question 3 of 8 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 most commonly an X - linked recessive trait. Males have one X and one Y chromosome. Since they have only one X chromosome, if they inherit the recessive allele for color blindness on that X chromosome, they will be color - blind. Females have two X chromosomes and need to inherit two copies of the recessive allele to be color - blind, making it less common in females compared to males for X - linked recessive traits.

Answer:

C. As an X - linked recessive trait
