Q7. Haemophiliacs possess a non-functional form of the gene responsible for the production of
blood clotting factors. Shown below is the occurrence of haemophilia in one family.
= male
O
= female
= male haemophiliac

sing the following symbols:
8
HE dominant allele h = recessive allele
All poram/male, genotype is_HH
All affected male, genotype is bb.
All noramshowing female genotype is_HH/Hh

2) On the basis of the information provided, is the inheritance of haemophilia:
(i) autosomal or sex-linked? Sex-linked
(ii) dominant or recessive? Recessive
3) State the probability of individual 8 being a carrier of haemophilia.
Completed forms to be made available for external moderation.
Individual 8 is a female and is a daughter of individual 1 and 2.

4) Explain
Explain hy
hy only females can be carriers of haemophilia.
Haemophilia is a sex linked recessive disease suggesting that only females can be carrier and
not males because females carry two X chromosomes and males carry only one X
chromosome. The mutation in this disease occurs in the X chromosome. As the recessive
character is only expressed when both the Alleles in a gene are mutated so females usually do
not suffer with the disease but they can be carriers that is in them one allele is normal which is
dominant and one allele is recessive which is abnormal but in males there is only one X
chromosome and if it is mutated then he would be suffering from the disease and if it is not then
he would be normal. So no carriers for male.
Q8.
(1) Complete the following genetic diagram to show how parents who did not suffer from
haemophilia, could have a son wit
h haemophilia but also other children who did not suffer from haemophilia.
