Mutations in a particular gene on the X chromosome result in color blindness in men. By contrast, most women carrying the mutation have proper color vision but see colored objects with reduced resolution, as though functional cone cells (the photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision) are spaced farther apart than normal in the retina. Can you give a plausible explanation for this observation? If a woman is colorblind, what could you say about her father? About her mother? Explain your answers.
