Is there a simple-at home test for a color-blindness in women?

yea there are many simple tests like that but i find this one to be very good\n\nhttp://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/vision.php

Red/green and blue color blindness appear to be located on at least two different gene locations. The majority of affected individuals are males. Females are carriers but are not normally affected. This indicates that the X chromosome is one of the locations for color blindness. Male offspring of females who carry the altered gene have a 50 percent chance of being color-blind. The rare female that has red/green color blindness, or rarer still, blue color blindness, indicates there is an involvement of another gene. As of 2004, the location of this gene was not yet identified.\n\nHe's right about the 7th chromosome,though.

Go to your eye doctor and get tested.

With IR you can dilute your soln so you have a bit more of it and then stick it on a plate and check out the peaks. That can give you a good idea of what you have... or there is HNMR, and CNMR, but it really depends on how much you have of the substance. If you have a general idea of what it might be then check the PH and give it a good guess... or use an indicator that might form some kind of ppt. with the substance in the soln . I've found that a refractive index really isnt the way to go because it isnt as reliable as other tests. Gas chromotograpy and Thin layer chormotograpy both require a general idea of what you might be coming up with... GC can be sketchy and you dont want to loose any sample on a test that might not tell you much, same with TLC, you would haev to be careful with the slovent interaction with the "unknown" that you have.

Try this one, NO colors, that would be freaky. everything just black or white, no "in-betweens"!

No way.\n\nBeing in the medical field, I'm over at the Health & Beauty boards a lot, and I see plenty of wrong answers that are picked as best answer.  It's the blind leading the blind!  I'm just hoping people check with their doctor before taking any advice.\n\nHowever, I think Yahoo Answers is a good starting point.  It's like having a conversation with your friends.  They might give you some ideas, suggestions, or explanations that you didn't think of before, but it's up to you to research & verify if the answer is correct.

Most certainly not! Where did you hear that?!\n\nColor-blindness is a genetic trait that is carried on the X chromosome. It is purely hereditary.

There are different kinds of color blindness.  The most common is red/green.  This occurs when the chromosome that codes for how we see color is missing either the red or green gene or else there is a chimeric gene (it has both red and green on the same gene) that only allows one of the colors to be expressed. If the chromosome doesn't have both the red and green gene being properly expressed than the person will be red/green color blind.  This means that he/she will not be able to perceive red (if that is the gene missing) or green (if that is the missing gene) There are no drugs that can help this, because you are missing the gene -- there is no way to "fix" that.  Hope that helps.  :)

well, i am not sure if you can really invent this....but i think it would be a great idea...and i am sure it would take alot of research to figure out. my fiance is color blind, and therefore can not ever become a pilot in the army because of it. The estimation is that 1/2 the male population is color blind. I just cant imagine life without being able to see all the extravagant colors there are out there. so my invention would be some sort of color blind glasses.....that would interrupt or block certain colors so that the brain can see the other colors. like i said, it would take extensive research, but i think it wuold be a great opportunity for some people like my fiance who really wants to be a pilot but is not allowed because of his color blindness.

It's pretty hard to find any sort of tests for free which is what I am assuming you want. If you are willing to pay then there are loads just search on yahoo.com. Whatever you do don't use google like the guy above suggests because google are evil and are trying to take over the world with their never ending quest for knowledge. By using google you are giving them all of your personal details, even what colour underwear you are wearing right now!

Complementation Testing\nOccasionally, multiple mutations of a single wild type phenotype are observed. The appropriate genetic question to ask is whether any of the mutations are in a single gene, or whether each mutations represents one of the several genes necessary for a phenotype to be expressed. The simplest test to distinguish between the two possibilities is the complementation test. The test is simple to perform --- two mutants are crossed, and the F1 is analyzed. If th e F1 expresses the wild type phenotype, we conclude each mutation is in one of two possible genes necessary for the wild type phenotype. When it is shown that shown genetically that two (or more) genes control a phenotype, the genes are said to form a complementation group. Alternatively, if the F1 does not express the wild type phenotype, but rather a mutant phenotype, we conclude that both mutations occur in the same gene.\nThese two results can be explained by considering the importance of genes to phenotypic function. If two separate genes are involved, each mutant will have a lesion in one gene while maintaining a wild type copy of the second gene. When the F1 is produc ed, it will expresses the mutant allele of gene A and the wild type allele of gene B (each contributed by one of the mutant parents). The F1 will also express the wild type allele for gene A and the mutant allele for gene B (contributed by the other muta nt parent). Because the F1 is expressing both of the necessary wild type alleles, the wild type phenotype is observed. \n\nConversely, if the mutations are in the same gene, each homolog will express a mutant version of the gene in the F1. Without a normal functioning gene product in the individual, a mutant phenotype occurs. \n\nEye color in Drosphila is a good model to demonstrate the complementation test. A wide array of spontaneous mutations have been studied. These experiments demonstrated that five genes (white, ruby, vermillion, garnet and carnation) controlling ey e color reside within 60 cM of each other on the X chromosome. The dominant wild type allele for each gene produces the deep red eyes. The mutant alleles produce a different color. If mutants from any of these five genes are crossed, the F1 would expre ss deep red eye color (wild type phenotype). \n\nFive different alleles (buff, coral, apricot, white and cherry) are also known to exist for the white gene, each representing a mutation at a different position in the gene. If mutant flies for any of the five white alleles are crossed, the F1 offspring would have a mutant eye color. Therefore, two genes involved in the expression of a phenotype complement each other. But complementation bet ween two alleles of the same gene does not occur

COLORBLIND WMEN ARE RARELY FIND. BUT IF SO HAPPEN THEN THE THIRD GENRATION WILL BE AFFECTED N NOT THEIR CHILDRN! AS WMEN HAV XX CHROMOSOMES N MEN HAV XY CHROMOSOME

You take a test at the eye doctor.  Color blind people generally only lack the ability to see certain shades of a color like purple for example.  They wouldn't be able to differnciate between a sheet of blue and a sheet of purple paper.

There are many types of color blindness. The most common variety are hereditary (genetic) photoreceptor disorders, but it is also possible to acquire color blindness through damage to the retina, optic nerve, or higher brain areas. Higher brain areas implicated in color processing include the parvocellular pathway of the lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus, and visual area V4 of the visual cortex. Acquired color blindness is generally unlike the more typical genetic disorders. For example, it is possible to acquire color blindness only in a portion of the visual field but maintain normal color vision elsewhere. Some forms of acquired color blindness are reversible. Transient color blindness also occurs (very rarely) in the aura of some migraine sufferers.

Yes! I tried it and I went blind! No more eye exams, contacts, glasses, solution or that dang cleaning process!

I'm not aware of any cures for color blindness, however, my brother has this problem. What he does if he doesn't have someone with him when he's shopping for clothes is he looks for racks that have coordinates on them. If he's in doubt, he asks a clerk if the outfit he's chosen looks good. He only has problems with green and blue. He chooses to take someone shopping with him, because most of his wardrobe consists of different shades of blue and green. \n\nYou may want to ask your opthamologist if there is anything that can help you with this. Good luck!
