Color Blindness
Maggie Odenbrett
*We learn about this disorder because it is an easy representation of a genetic disease. We can who color blindness effects through family trees using pedigree charts.
*This is relevant to what we are learning now because using punnet squares we can determine the genomes of offspring and determine the likelihood of a colorblind child.

      There are multiple types, the colors someone can see are determined by the type and severity of their disorder. For example a person who is color blind to pink and green can not distinguish the difference between the two colors.
