Q

How does the luminosity of red light compare between normal trichromats, protanomals, and deuteranomals?

A

Normal: is normal, value of 1
Deuteranomals: slightly lower
Protanomals: much lower

Q

How does the luminosity of green light in deuteranomals compare to normal?

A

Slightly lower (is around 0.8 or so compared to 1 for normals)

Q

Where is the neutral point for saturation discrimination in protanomals and deuteranamols?

A

They don’t have a neutral point for saturation discrimination. It’s a trick question haha!

Q

Do protanomals and deuteranomals experience more or less saturation of spectral colours compared to normals?

A

Less, so spectral colours look more desaturated

Q

Summarise the colour perception of anomalous trichromats compared to normals in 4 points

A

Anomalous trichromats see:

  1. Metamers differently
  2. Fewer colours (poorer wavelength discrimination, and deltaP)
  3. Saturated colours appear desaturated (poorer deltaP)
  4. PA have reduced luminosity to red (also DA very slightly)

Q

How does the Nagel anomaloscope work?

A

It’s a colour matching instrument. One of the knobs controls intensity of the yellow (589nm) sodium field, and the other knob controls the ratio of lithium red (670nm) and mercury green (546nm). Task is to match hemifields

Q

How can opsin genes be abnormal/compromised? (4)

A

Completely missing from gene array
Point mutations
Major sequence/deletions

Q

What do point mutations in opsin gene lead to?

A

dysfunctional photopigment. It’s very rare that you’d have a functional photopigment after a point mutation

Q

What percentage homologous is the S pigment with M and L pigment?

A

43% homologous

17
Q

How similar are M and L pigments?

A

96% mutually identical

18
Q

When adding red/green to match with yellow, will deuteranopes have to change intensity of the yellow?

A

No. Protanopes will though because the red is less luminous for them and makes the overall mixture dimmer

19
Q

What are Hybrid genes?

A

Genes created from a mismatch of parent genes from meiosis due to (in this example) multiple copies of the M gene, which make a misalignment more likely

20
Q

How are anomalous trichromats similar but different from normal trichromats?

A

While they need 3 primaries to match another colour in a colour matching experiment, the matches they make are different from normals. They often reject colour matches made by normals
