Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "N" for normal and "n" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (NN or Nn or nn) but a man will have only one allele (N or n). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a.What are the genotypes of the parents? b.What is the probability that a male offspring will have hemophilia? c. What is the probability of having a hemophiliac female offspring?
Recessives Allele, an allele that is fully expressed in the phenotype of a heterozygote. Select one: True False
Hemophilia is an X-linked disorder that affects the body’s ability to create blood clots. The allele for normal blood clotting, XH, is dominant over the allele for hemophilia, Xh. An unaffected daughter from the above cross married a man who does not have hemophilia. Determine the probability of their offspring being A daughter with hemophilia A daughter without hemophilia A son with hemophilia A son without hemophilia Express your answer as a phenotypic ratio. Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Phenotype: Affected female Unaffected female Affected male Unaffected male
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers). X H X H = female, non-hemophilic X H X h = female, carrier X h X h = female, hemophilia X H Y = male, non-hemophilic X h Y= male, hemophiliac a.) Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier. What is the probability that their children will have the disease? b.) A woman who is a carrier marries a non-hemophilic man. Show the cross. What is the probability that their children will have hemophilia? What sex will a child in the family with hemophilia be? c.) A woman who has hemophilia marries a non-hemophilic man. How many of their children will have hemophilia, and what is their sex?
A gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and wife, who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the disease, decide to have a child. Because both parents are carriers of the disease, each has one dominant normal-cell allele (S) and one recessive sickle-cell allele (s). Therefore, the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely. Complete parts a) through c) below. a) Genes are always written with the dominant gene first. Therefore, there are two instances the offspring could have genotype Ss (one if the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the non-dominant allele; and one if the father contributes the dominant allele and the mother contributes the non-dominant allele). List the other two possible genotypes of the offspring. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
A couple are both phenotypically normal but their son suffers from hemophilla, a sex linked recessive disorder. What fraction of their children are likely to suffer from hemophilia. what fraction are likely to be carriers.
PKU disease is recessive. A man and a woman are both carriers for PKU disease. Determine the following: Genotype of the man: Genotype of the woman: Possible genotypes of children: Possible phenotypes of children: Probability of PKU disease in their children:
Hemophilia is a blood disorder which is sex-linked. A woman carrier has children with a normal man. Determine the chances for girls and boys with hemophilia. [Remember that females have the XX genotype and males have the XY genotype. Do not place an allele on the Y chromosome. Example: XN Xn for female; Xn Y for male]
Hemophilia is an X-linked disorder that affects the body’s ability to create blood clots. The allele for normal blood clotting, XH, is dominant over the allele for hemophilia, Xh.An unaffected female that is not a carrier mated with an affected male.

A woman who has blood type A positive has a daughter who is type O positive and a son who is type B negative. Rh positive is a trait that shows simple dominance over Rh negative and is designated by the alleles R and r, respectively. A third gene for the MN blood group has co dominant alleles M and N. If both children are of blood type M in addition to their ABO blood type, list all of the possible parental phenotypes for the ABO, MN and Rh traits.
Sickle cell anemia is a disease that is caused by a mutation in the gene that produces hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen in red blood cells. The HbA allele produces normal hemoglobin and the HbS allele produces hemoglobin that sticks together and causes red blood cells to sickle. Heterozygous individuals (HbAHbS) produce both normal and "sickle" hemoglobin so the HbA and HbS alleles are codominant. Heterozygotes do not develop sickle cell anemia and are described as having the sickle cell trait. Individuals that are homozygous for the sickle allele (HbSHbS) only produce "sickle" hemoglobin and develop sickle cell disease. A man with the sickle cell trait married a woman with the sickle cell trait. Determine the probability that they will have children with the sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease.Record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places. Answer
