However, her first child has the disorder. a. What is the most likely explanation? b. Diagram the cross between the woman and her husband using a Punnett square, give the genotypic ratio (GR) and phenotypic ratio (PR) from the Punnett square. c. Based on the Punnett square results, what is the chance that her next child will have the disorder?arrow_forwardIn humans, failure to synthesize melanin leads to a condition called albinism. This is a recessive condition.

- Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is a sex-linked disease which is caused by the recessive allele.
