8.

Can a human male be a carrier of red-green color blindness?

a)

Yes, males can be carriers of red-green color blindness, as color blindness is autosomal dominant

No, males cannot be the carriers of red-green color blindness, as color blindness is X-linked

c)

No, males cannot be the carriers of red-green color blindness, as color blindness is Y-linked

d)

Yes, males can be carriers of red-green color blindness, as color blindness is autosomal recessive
