Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Mendel had hypothesized that the traits can be independently inherited. Law of independent assortment suggested that there is the independent inheritance of 2 or more than 2 traits.

In people the gene, which causes one form of color-blindness or Daltonism, is located in the X-chromosome. The affected condition is caused by a recessive gene, healthy condition is dominant. A girl who has emmetropia (normal eyesight), whose father had color-blindness, marries a normal man, whose father also suffers from color-blindness. What kind of sight is expected in the children from this marriage?
Color-blindness is a recessive disorder found on the X chromosome. There can be individuals that are carriers for the trait (Of the two X chromosomes they have, only one has the colorblindness allele while the other is normal. In this pattern of inheritance, all carriers are female). We express sex-linked traits with respect to our sex chromosomes. For example, if the allele for colorblindness is "b" and the allele for normal color vision is "B", then a female carrier is X x. II III IV 6. What are the two sex chromosomes for females? What are the two sex chromosomes for males? 7. Is the Generation I male colorblind? his sex chromosomes)?. What is his genotype (be sure to express it with regard to 8. Why are all the females in Generation II carriers? (be careful: one of the females shown "married in" to the family) 9. The first couple in Generation II has four children. Show the genotypes of their daughters. What is the probability their daughters will be carriers? 10. If a female…
Red-green colorblindness is due to a sex-linked recessive gene. If two normal parents have a colorblind son, provide the genotypes of the parents and all the possible genotypes of their children.
