one common treatment for congenital chromatopsia or rod monochromatism is for the individual to wear red/brown contact lenses or glasses? why is this helpful?
Congenital chromatopsia is an inherited disease characterized by color blindness. In the human eye in the retina, there are millions of rods and cones at the rear of the eyes. Rods and Cones are the photoreceptors. Rods are responsible for the scotopic vision and have a low spatial acuity, they do not mediate color vision. The Cones are responsible for the photopic vision of high spatial acuity. Cones are present in the central fovea region of the retina.
Rods are active at low light levels and Cones are active at higher light levels there are approximately 150,000 cones/ sq. mm. There are three types of Cones acts at different light wavelengths.
The people who lack Cone photoreceptors suffer from Congenital chromatopsia as we know the Cones are active at higher levels with the absence of Cones their eyes do not adapt to the high or illuminated lights they are photophobic. In high illuminated light the vision decreases they have to blink or squint to reduce the light entering the eyes.
The patients who suffer from chromatopsia can work comfortably in the dim light but in an illuminated light or outside in a sunny day it is difficult to adjust to the bright light.
With the use of red central contact lenses, the amount of light entering the eye gets adjusted to the illuminated or outdoor light. The centrally tinted contact lenses reduce photophobia by decreasing light sensitivity that helps in improve visual acuity.

An individual can be classified as male or female, with red, brown, black or blond hair and with brown, blue or green eyes. Construct a tree diagram and determine the probability that a randomly selected individual will be a male with black hair.
Congenital sensorineural deafness is the most common form of deafness in dogs and is often associated with congenital pigmentation deficiencies. A study of hearing impairment in dogs examined over 5000 dalmatians for both hearing impairment and iris color. The provided figure shows the SPSS output for a chi-square test on these data.

Bradburn Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public
subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the
common stock, was one of the organizers of Bradburn and is its
current president. The company has been successful, but it
currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2018,
Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a
24-month extension on two $35,000 notes, which are due on June 30,
2018, and September 30, 2018....
You cross two strains of yeast, one with red colonies and ethanol-sensitive and the other with white colonies and ethanol-resistant. It is known that the color gene and the resistance genes are linked and located 20 cm apart. List the three types of asci you expect to observe in the meiosis of this hybrid (draw them out) with the genotype of all 4 spores in each. Which one will be the most and which will be the least common and...

Assignment: Inheritance
Background: The images above shows an
individual with a common thumb variant (recessive trait) and one
with brachydactyly type D (dominant trait). The reduced length and
increased girth of the distal phalanx in brachydactyly type D has
to do with a mutation on HOXD13 (part of the hoxD gene cluster
on Chromosome 2) that effects its pattern of development.
Your question: Considering that brachydactyly type D is
controlled by a dominant allele, will it replace the common
recessive...
