- Colorblindness is an X-linked trait found in humans. What are the chances that a colorblind man will pass it on to his son? Please explain.arrow_forwardHemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%arrow_forwardIn humans, one type of red-green colorblindness (n) is sex-linked and recessive. A) A woman who is a carrier marries a man with normal vision. What is the chance of having color-blind daughters? Color-blind sons? B) A heterozygous woman and a color-blind man marry. What is the chance of having color-blind daughters? Color-blind sons?arrow_forward
- In humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?arrow_forwardDuchenne’s muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and is often fatal. “XD” represents the wild type allele, and “Xd,” the mutant allele. Jonah is XDXd Y and his brother Pete is Xd Y. Jonah and Pete BOTH have DMD of equal severity and phenotypes. You might have thought Jonah’s DMD would be less severe given his genotype. To better understand the situation, you investigate Jonah’s Xist chromosome region in his defective muscle cells. Which of the following is consistent with his phenotype? (Select all that apply.) The Xd-containing chromosome is inactive in defective muscle cells. The XD-containing chromosome has a methylated Xist promoter. The XD-containing chromosome has an unmethylated Xist promoter. The Xd-containing chromosome is active in defective muscle cells.arrow_forwardCardi B claims to have another baby. She’s telling gossip magazines that it’s Offset’s baby. Offset wants proof that it’s his. Cardi B is homozygous recessive for square face shape. Offset is homozygous dominant for round face shape. The baby was born with a round face shape. Is it possible the baby could be his? Use your own letters for this Punnett square.arrow_forward
- Can you please not type the answer can you write it on a paperarrow_forwardAmanda Sefton (Daytripper) has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind (X- linked recessive) and syndactylous (autosomal dominant). Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler) is color blind and syndictylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes, but he didn't know his father. As their genetic counselor, answer the following questions based on Kurt and Amanda marrying and starting a family. What is the probability of having a child that has syndactyly?
