While seeing a colour chart a colour blind male has decreased vision for red light colour which appear very light than that of other colours. Which of the following is the likely anomaly in him?

A
Protanomaly
B
Dutanomaly
C
Tritanomaly
D
Butanomaly
High-Yield Explanation
(A) Protanomaly > Prefixes "Prot = red, Deuter = green & Tri = blue refer to defects cone system, respectively Suffixes anomaly = colour weakness; anopia = colour blindness> Individuals with normal colour vision and those with Protanomaly (red colour weakness), deuteranomaly (green colour weakness), and tritanomaly (blue colour weakness) are called Trichomates --i.e. they have all three cones, system but one is weak.> Dichromates: only two cone system present, E.g. Protanopia = red cone absent; Deuteranopia = green cone absent Tritanopia = Blue cone absent.
