A mother is heterozygous for the X-linked gene for colorblindness and also heterozygous for the autosomal inherited sickle cell anemia. She is married to a man who can see color normally and who is heterozygous for sickle cell trait. Using b (colorblind), B (normal color), S (normal hemoglobin), s (sickle cell), answer the following: a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b: What is the probability of having a child who is both color blind and has sickle cell anemia?

Could an individual with blood type O (genotype ii) be a legitimate child of parents in which one parent had blood type A and the other parent had blood type B?
O. 2 Hemophilia A is an X-linked trait where blood clotting is affected due to a mutation in a clotting factor protein. Georgio has hemophilia and attends a support group where he meets Gbenga, who does not have the disease, but whose father has hemophilia. Her mother is not affected. A) If they marry, what percentage % of all their children will have hemophilia? % B) Georgio meets another woman, Maria, at the hemophilia support group. Maria also lacks the trait, but her mother has hemophilia while her father is unaffected. # 3 Would a Georgio-Maria mating provide a larger chance of having afflicted children compared to a Georgio-Gbenga mating?

In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. The trait is X-linked. A female hemophiliac has a child with a man who is not a hemophiliac. What is the probability that this couple's child is a hemophiliac and what is the child's gender? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature.
The mother of a family with 10 children has blood typeRh+. She also has a very rare condition (elliptocytosis,phenotype E) that causes red blood cells to be oval rather than round in shape but that produces no adverseclinical effects. The father is Rh− (lacks the Rh+ antigen)and has normal red blood cells (phenotype e). The children are 1 Rh+ e, 4 Rh+ E, and 5 Rh− e. Information isavailable on the mother’s parents, who are Rh+ E andRh− e. One of the 10 children (who is Rh+ E) marriessomeone who is Rh+ e, and they have an Rh+ E child.a. Draw the pedigree of this whole family.b. Is the pedigree in agreement with the hypothesisthat the Rh+ allele is dominant and Rh− is recessive?c. What is the mechanism of transmission ofelliptocytosis?d. Could the genes governing the E and Rh phenotypesbe on the same chromosome? If so, estimate the mapdistance between them, and comment on your result
Hemophilia is an X-linked disease associated with the inability to produce specific proteins in the blood-clotting pathway. Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflicted with the disease are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passing on the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbol above) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family 4.Assuming that the woman in the couple is a carrier, what is the probability that the couple’s first son will have hemophilia?
For the Y-linked gene, use T for hypertrichosis. For X-linked genes, use the letters H for blood trait and E for eye trait. Krisha, a carrier of the genes for hemophilia and colorblindness, is married to Kyle who is color blind, having normal red blood cells. Veronica (Krisha & Kyle's daughter), turned out to be a carrier for both genes. Julian has hypertrichosis and is married to Josie. Both do not exhibit any allele for color blindness and never had any history for hemophilia. Bernard (Julian & Josie's son) will be married to Veronica. What are the complete genotypes of the following persons: a. Krisha b. Kyle c. Veronica d. Julian e. Josie f. Bernard g. Josie & Bernard's baby
A couple who are a carrier of sickle-cell disease with blood type A for the female and type B for the male (assume heterozygosity for blood types). What is the probability that they will have a son with blood type B and is sickle- cell? Please show the solution.
If a male who is non-hemophiliac is crossed with a female carrier of both colorblindness and hemophilia, what is the probability that a female child will be phenotypically normal?
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
A man with thalassemia minor marries a normal woman. What phenotypic ratios of thalassemia-affected children might these parents expect?
A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles. a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom. b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have: b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? b.2 a child of normal height? b.3 a child with type AB blood? b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman? b.7 a son with same genotype as the man?
