Women see one color differently then men do: RED
Why?
It turns out there’s a perfectly good reason why men can’t see what is so obvious to women: the many variations–some subtle, some bold–of the color red.
Reuters reports that researchers from Arizona State University in Tempe have determined there is a gene that allows us to see the color red, and that gene comes in a high number of variations.
Because the gene sits on the X chromosome–and women have two X chromosomes and so two copies of this gene, compared with only one for men–the gene aids women’s ability to perceive the red-orange color spectrum. The study findings were reported in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
