Which of the following is caused by a dominant allele?

• Huntington's Disease
• Colorblindness
• Cystic fibrosis

Colorblindness is more common in males than in females because

• Fathers pass the allele for colorblindness to their sons only
• The allele for colorblindness is located on the Y chromosome.
• The allele for colorblindness is recessive and located on the X chromosome.
• Males who are colorblind have two copies of the allele for colorblindness.
