Q. Which cell disorder in our body is responsible for colour blindness?
Answer: Cone cell
Notes: Colour blindness is a sex-linked recessive disorder that causes failure in a person to differentiate and distinguish different colours such as red and green. Colour vision deficiency, commonly called colour blindness, results from a malfunction or absence of cone cells in the retina. Cone cells are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of the human eye that are responsible for colour vision and function best in relatively bright light. Colour blindness can occur when one or more of the colour cone cells are absent, nonfunctioning, or detect a different colour than normal.
