Talk:Dichromacy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've removed a claim that cats, and crepuscular carnivores in general, tend to be trichromatic. I can find no evidence to support this, and a good deal that suggests that it's wrong, unless the trichromacy results from rod action. If anyone wants to reinsert the claim, I think that it should be supported with a clear reference. seglea 22:16, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Genetics

Both the dichromacyarticle and the general color blindness article are lacking when it comes to the genetics behind it. Is the gene recessive or dominant? Is it autosomal or X-linked? How is it inherited, and what is the prognosis for passing color blindness on to the next generation. All this information should be mandatory in all genetically linked diseases.
