Suppose a woman who is a carrier of sickle-cell trait (making her a heterozygote) has children with a man who is totally healthy and does not carry the gene for sickle-cell trait at all. Which one of the following is true about their potential children? (Draw a Punnett square on scratch paper if it helps you.) A) None of their children will have sickle-cell disease. B) All of their children will have sickle-cell disease. C) All of the couple's children would be heterozygous carriers like the mother.
A man with blood type O (genotype ii) has a father with blood type A and a mother with blood type B. Is this man a legitimate child of these parents? What is a possible phenotype of an individual that results from a woman with type AB blood and a man with type B blood? Explain with diagrams.
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting (H) is dominant to the allele for hemophilia. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the probable genotype for each member of the family?
Alpha thalassemia is a hereditary blood condition that results in varying levels of anemia. It is tied to the HB alpha 1 gene and the HB alpha 2 gene on human chromosome 16. The diagram shows the proteins for the hemoglobin genes and the pedigree shows genotypes, designated by the letter X, on the chromosomes for a family affected by the condition. Which represents the predicted level of anemia in a child born to the mother and father in the image with a mutation that results in a genotype of xxxx? Why? A - mild anemia because the loss of 4 genes would equal the loss of the 4 proteins needed for normal alpha hemoglobin B - severe anemia because the loss of 4 genes would equal the loss of the 4 proteins needed for normal alpha hemoglobin C - mild anemia because the addition of 4 genes would produce too many of the proteins needed for normal alpha hemoglobin D - severe anemia because the addition of 4 genes would produce too many of the proteins needed for normal alpha hemoglobin
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?
What is the probability of a child having type AB blood if one of the parents is heterozygous for A blood (Ai) and the other is heterozygous for B blood (Bi)? What other genotypes are possible for children of these parents?
Albinism in humans is inherited as a simple recessive trait.Determine the genotypes of the parents and offspring for the following families. When two alternative genotypes are possible,list both.(a) Two parents without albinism have five children, four withoutalbinism and one with albinism.(b) A male without albinism and a female with albinism havesix children, all without albinism.
The gene for polydactyly (P) is autosomal and dominant to normal fingers (p). Hemophilia is sex-linked and recessive (X h ). A man and his wife both of whom are polydactylous and have normal red blood cells have a child who is non-polydactylous and with hemophilia. What are their genotypes?
