The video on the last page, did a wonderful job explaining Colorblindness and sex-linked genes. If you failed to watch the video clip, please go back to the Sex-Linked Genes tab and watch the video before continuing.
Now that you have an understanding of these topics lets have a little fun.
In your guided notes there is a section for you to take a colorblind test. With your partner, watch the video provided below. When they show the circle, write down what you see, then check you answer when the screen shows the correct answer. This is not a real test, but included for fun.

Did you pass all 15? Are you colorblind?
In your packet, write a short response on what you thought about the colorblind test. Include some of the vocabulary you have learned up until this point.
Below is Colorblindness represented in a punnett square. Females are less likely to be colorblind because they would need both X chromosomes to have this trait show through. Males are more likely to be colorblind because they only have one X chromosome. If the colorblindness trait is present on that X chromosome then the male will be colorblind.
