When you and I look at a normal leaf, we see only dark green, but this woman named Concetta Antico from Australia sees many more colors in that leaf. In fact it is due to tetrachromate. Tetrachromate means its fourth color receptor in the retina of the eye. Usually there are only three in the eyes of people. Because of their cone shape, they are also called cone cells.
According to scientists, the eyes of tetrachromats are capable of recognizing 100 million colors. Antico says of this “I have always felt that I live in a magical world. Everything was wonderful to me. I saw a little more of everything. I have been drawing everything I see. From the university After graduating I moved to San Diego, USA and became an art teacher there. I didn’t even know much about it until 2012.
Meanwhile, one of his students shows Concetta his study on tetrachromacy. It said that daughters of such mothers are suspected to be color blind. Shortly before that, Constanta learned that her daughter was color blind. According to Kimberly Jameson, an expert at the University of California, 15 percent of women carry the gene responsible for tetrachromycin, because mutations on two X chromosomes can create a fourth cell. This happens to only 1% of the people in the world.
Let us tell you that Concetta Antico is working on a way to help people suffering from color blindness. They feel that their brains can be trained quickly if this problem is recognized early. He is soon going to start a blind art school. They are also planning to launch an online platform for the same.
