- Can a male be a carrier of red-green color blindness?arrow_forwardAnalysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?arrow_forwardRedgreen color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. Your friend is the daughter of a color-blind father. Her mother had normal color vision, but her maternal grandfather was color-blind. What is the probability that your friend is color-blind? (a) 1 (b) (c) (d) (e) 0arrow_forward
- In humans color vision is X-linked, the gene for color vision is located on the X chromosome but is absent on the Y chromosome. Normal color vision (XN) is dominant over colorblindness (Xn). Suppose a colorblind man fathers the children of a woman with genotype XNXN. What is the genotype of the father? What proportion of daughters will be colorblind? What proportion of the sons will be colorblind?arrow_forwardIn humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?arrow_forwardIn humans, being right handed (R) is dominant over being left handed (r), and normal vision (X+) is dominant over color blindness (Xc). Color blindness is a X-linked (a.k.a sex linked) trait. Two right-handed parents with normal vision have a son who is color blind and left handed. What are the genotypes of the parents for right-handedness and color blindness?arrow_forward
- Color blindness is an X-linked recessive disease. A female and a male with normal vision have 4 children. The phenotypes of the children are listed below: 2 Colorblind males, 1 normal vision female, one normal vision male. Given these results, the female must be a carrier for colorblindness. True Falsearrow_forwardIn humans, one of the genes determining color vision islocated on the X chromosome. The dominant form (C )produces normal color vision; red-green color deficiency(c) is recessive. If a man with normal color visionmarries a color-deficient woman, what is the probabilityof them having a color-deficient son? A color-deficientdaughter?arrow_forwardRed-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their male children will be colorblind? (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% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 4/4 100% or 4/4arrow_forward
- A color-blind man marries a woman with normal vision whose father was color-blind. Remember that color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Hint: see figure 12.7 in book. A) What is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind daughter? B) What is the probability that their first son will be color-blind?arrow_forwardDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), marked by muscular degeneration, results from an X- linked recessive gene. Thus, a female who is heterozygous for this gene and does not have the disease can be a carrier. What kind of offspring can you expect from a DMD-affected male and a carrier female? Can there be a carrier male?arrow_forwardRed-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their female children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their FEMALE children only, in other words if they have 1 female child, what is the probability that she will be born colorblind?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 3/4 100% or 4/4arrow_forward
