Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind when a red or green light is projected into the retina of the eye at some areas of a red-green colorblind female, she can easily differentiate the colors but in other areas, she has a difficulty in doing so.

Introduction: Color blindness (red-green colorblindness) is color vision deficiency and colorblind individuals have different color perception. They have the difficulty in seeing red, blue, green, or a combination of these colors. Gene expression in the human body is required to form photopigments. The defects in these genes can cause colorblindness. It is a recessive X-linked condition.
