Explicación
## Step 1Colorblindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is a condition where a person's ability to differentiate between certain colors is impaired. This condition is more prevalent in males than in females.## Step 2The reason for this is that colorblindness is a sex-linked trait. This means that the genes responsible for colorblindness are located on the X chromosome.## Step 3Males have only one X chromosome, which they inherit from their mother. If this chromosome carries the gene for colorblindness, the male will be colorblind.## Step 4On the other hand, females have two X chromosomes, one from each parent. If one of these chromosomes carries the gene for colorblindness, the other X chromosome can compensate for it. This means that females are less likely to be colorblind.
