Compare and contrast impaired color vision and color blindness
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Inherited deficiencies in the cones cause various degrees of impaired color vision. Most people with impaired color vision cannot distinguish shades of red or green; some cannot distinguish shades of blue and yellow. Complete absence of color vision is rare. Color-blind people only see shades of gray. Color vision impairments and color blindness are carried on the X chromosome, so they occur more often in males, although females can inherit the condition too.
