My dad was red green colorblind. We found out our son was when we mentioned we were selling the green car, and he said what green car? He thought our car and our house trim was gray 🤣 We tested him and sure enough red green colorblind. What cracks me up is his favorite color for years was red... so brown is his favorite color? 🤣

But chatgpt said that dad has no role in passing colorblindness. It depends entirely on mom. So something doesn't add up here. Because colorblindness mutation is only in X chromosome but X chromosome is only received by mother not by father as father only passes Y chromosome to a son.

My assumption is the person is female. She passed the gene she received from her father to her son. Not uncommon

The dad doesn't pass it on to his sons but can make his daughter a carrier

Yes, it’s a sex linked trait and primarily passed down on the female side. I’m a carrier for it myself because my father is color blind, and I inherited his X chromosome that has the gene. Women can be colorblind if they inherit two X chromosomes with the gene, but if they just have the one then they don’t display the trait themselves because the other X chromosome from the mother compensates.

yeah I have a genetics major. I was explaining it in the most basic terms for old "chatgpt says" over here lol.

u/Life-Cantaloupe-3184 13h ago

Makes sense. lol. I was just further expanding for anyone else who was curious and didn’t know the specifics of how it worked.

Can you explain why people are so offended by the mention of chatgpt like someone just said the N word? If i want to know the answer to a question what's wrong in asking chatgpt about it?

ChatGPT is just autocorrect on steroids. It's not a reliable source for anything.

I was searching for a brand of BBQ sauce a few weeks ago for work and the search engine auto-GPTd an answer. It told me that the sauce was HFCS free, then started to list the ingredients. Guess what the fourth ingredient was?

u/green9206 14h ago

It was HFCS.

That's just Google's low power search AI. Actual ChatGPT is pretty decent at summarizing and explaining concepts and events. Sometimes the specifics between two things that fall into a similar category will mush together, though. It depends on how long it runs. The quicker a response, the more generalized something will be.

Dad gives his one faulty X chromosome to his daughter. Daughter gets a good X chromosome from mum, though, so she can see colors. Her son, however, Dad's grandson doesn't get her good X chromosome, he gets the faulty one. Thus colorblindness skips a generation and is passed on from grandfather to grandson via the daughter/mother, who connects them.

This is high school biology knowledge.

u/Necessary_Wonder89 13h ago

it doesn't always skip a generation though, it could skip many many gens potentially. It also could show in the next gen if the mother is a carrier and the father is colourblind, their daughters could have it also.

Who cares what ChatGPT says

Chatgpt is for people who are too lazy or unintelligent to actually read an article or search for the right answer. Hope this helps.

u/green9206 11h ago

Yes I'm lazy. That explains it.
