What kind of trait is present when many different genes control a single a single trait such as skin color?
epistasis
Who discovered that color blindness was a disease?
John Dalton "discovered" color blindness after he was looking at a Pelargonium zonale(a kind of flower). Dalton saw the flower as blue, whereas it is in actuality, pink. Dalton noted this fact in 1792

epistasis
How many genes are needed to represent a trait?
It depends on the trait. Some traits exhibit simple Mendelian heredity, being governed by only one gene. However, many traits are governed by more than one gene, which is called polygenic inheritance.
The gene for color blindness is a recessive allele located on the x chromosome. If a color blind man and color blind woman have one son and three daughters how many will be color blind?
Women can not be colorblind, only men. For questions like these a punnett square is useful. Men can not carry the colorblind trait, but women can. I know this is kind of confusing. When a carrier ( a woman with the color blind trait) has children with a man ( color blind or not) her kids will have 50% chance of having that trait. If its a girl, she will be the carrier. If its a boy, he will have the colorblind trait. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Theoreticaly, 1 of the daughters will be the carrier, and the son will have a 50% chance of being colorblind. Women can be colorblind, its just rare. About every 6400 women one is colour blind and with men, every 80 men 1 is colour blind.
What kind of non-mendelian trait is color blindness?
Its a Sex-Linked Trait, so for girls it would be XCxC or XCXcfor it recessivly for boy (They have the greater chance of getting the trait because its only located on the X chromosome) so for boys its XCY for the trait and XcY for it recessivly

What is the definition of a genetic trait?
A genetic trait is a characteristic that gets inherited by an offspring from the parent. Some examples of genetic traits are height, eye color, and skin color.
What are the unique facts about color blindness?
Not being able to see color in some cases. Mild color blindness might just be an inability to distinguish between colors like green and red. That is sometimes the case, not always. Did you know that 99% of all color blind people are not actually color blind, but color deficient? Does that help?
