Question

Gabriel's family wants to understand what causes red-green colorblindness. You explain that in individuals with normal color vision the genesOPN1LW and OPN1MW provide instructions for making proteins called opsins. Opsins are found in the retina of the eye and are involved in colorvision. If mutations occur in these genes, opsin proteins may function abnormally, possibly resulting in colorblindness.Read each of the statements that describe how the opsin genes and proteins are different or the same in individuals with normal vision orcolorblindness. Drag each statement into the correct box.

Answer 1

Colorblind Individual

-Mutated DNA Sequence

-Produces abnormally functioning opsins

Normal color vision individual

-Normal DNA Sequence

-Produces normal opsins

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have color blindness, it means you see colors differently than most people. Most of the time, color blindness makes it hard to tell the difference between certain colors. Usually, color blindness runs in families. There's no cure, but special glasses and contact lenses can help.
