A member asked:
Help please! is color blindness a gene disorder or a chromosomal disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The same: Genes are the elements of the chromosomes and so a disorder of a gene will be carried on a chromosome (usually the x for most color blindness). It is like saying is an apartment the same as an apartment building.
