Question
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease, and the gene is located on the X chromosome. A man with hemophilia marries a woman with hemophilia. What is the probability of a son they have been a hemophiliac?

- A man and woman are both heterozygous for the recessive allele that causes cystic fibrosis. What is the probability that their first two offspring will have the disorder?arrow_forwardPlease answer this question.arrow_forwardIn humans, red-green color-blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. A man with red-green color- blindness marries a normal-vision woman whose father was color-blind. As the genetic counselor, construct a Punnett square to determine the genotypic and phenotypic possibilities of their children. orange is due to heteroz means In human, assume that albinism is an autosomal recessive characteristic while hemophilia is X-linked recessive. An albino nonhemophiliac man has children with a normally-pigmented nonhemophiliac woman whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was albino. Calculate the phenotypes of the children they could produce.arrow_forward
- Mary has hemophilia, an X-linked recessive trait. From which of the following individuals could Mary NOT have inherited a hemophilia allele? O Her father O Her father's mother O Her mother's mother O Her father's father O Her mother's fatherarrow_forwardImagine a cross between a man and a woman having the following genotypes: Genotype of the Husband Genotype of the Wife Aa bb Dd Gg Hh RR Tt X Aa Bb Dd gg Hh Rr Tt Assuming that the dominant allele in each gene pair exhibits complete dominance over the recessive allele, what is the probability that this couple would have a daughter who exhibits the recessive phenotype with respect to all seven of the gene pairs?arrow_forwardDraw a Punnett square for a female who is a heterozygote and a male who is a dominant homozygotes. What is the likelihood that this couple will have an offspring with Tay Sachs disease?arrow_forward
- 1. A) Apply the concept of sex linkage to explain why color blindness is more prevalent in men than in women. B) Mary is concerned that she may be a carrier for hemophilia, a sex-linked condition located on the X chromosome. Mary is married to John, who doesn't have hemophilia. Assuming Mary is a carrier, what are the genotype ratios expected for Mary and John's kids (specify for boys and for girls)? C) Mary and John have 2 boys, none of them has hemophilia. Can we use this fact as proof that Mary does not carry the allele for hemophilia? Explain your argument.arrow_forwardPlease answer the attached question:arrow_forwardA human child is born with hemophilia (a condition in which the blood does not clot). Neither parent has hemophilia, and the gene whose (recessive) allele causes hemophilia resides on the X chromosome. What are the genotypes of the parents? (No explanations are needed.)arrow_forward
- Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? (use the letter “H”)arrow_forwardwhat is the probability that a couple (both heterozygous for the same recessive mutation) will have two children with the disease if the couple plans to have four children in total?arrow_forwardA gene that controls the ability to see red and green is located on the X chromosome but not on the Y chromosome. There is a recessive nonfunctional allele for this gene that can cause red-green color blindness if the person possessing it does not also have the dominant normal gene. Consider the case of a carrier mother who is heterozygous for the red-green vision gene and a father who has normal vision. Use XB = normal vision, Xb = color-blind vision. What is the chance the parents would have a color-blind boy? A color-blind girl? What about a girl or boy with normal vision? Redo the Punnett square for a carrier mother (XBXb) and a color-blind father (XbY). Do the chances of having color-blind children change? How?arrow_forward
