- Colorblindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait while pattern baldness is controlled by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males but recessive in females. A colorblind man who is also homozygous for baldness has children with a woman who carries normal genes for both traits. What is the probability that any of their child will be: a. Colorblind, bald male b. Colorblind, normal-haired male c. Female with normal sight and baldarrow_forwardThe chart below is showing 4 generations of a family that is affected by a hereditary disease. a. Is the disorder being tracked dominant or recessive? How do you know? b. There is only one possible genotype for person C. True or False? c. What are the possible genotypes for person A? d. What are the possible genotypes for person B?, e. If two people with the same genotypes as person C's spouse and person A's spouse had a child, what is the probability that the child will be affected by this genetic disorder? (draw a Punnett square using the correct genotypes to help you). % chance offspring will be affected % chance offspring will not be affectedarrow_forwardRabbits may be classified as agouti, chinchilla, Himalayan, or albino according to coat color.

There is not enough information to determine the mechanism of inheritancearrow_forwardraccoons may have wide, medium-sized, or narrow bands around their tails. They may also havethe habit of washing all, or some of their food, or do not wash their food at all. a) assign genotypes to the phenotypes mentioned (see attached table) b. What mode of inheritance would most likely be exhibited by these traits if crosses were made? c. If two raccoons with medium-sized tail bands and have the habit of washing some of theirfoods will be crossed, what is the probability of having F1 raccoons with: c.1 wide tail bands that won’t wash any of their food? c.2 the same genotype as the parent raccoons? d. If a raccoon with a wide tail band that washes only some of its food is crossed with a raccoonwith a narrow tail band that doesn’t wash any food, what percentage of their offspring wouldbe medium-tailed and washes all its food? Show COMPLETE cross.arrow_forwardA type of baldness is sex –limited such that the allele that causes it is dominant in men and recessive in women. Thus baldness is much more common in men than women even though the locus is on an autosome. How is the pattern of inheritance in this example different from X-linked inheritance of a recessive allele? Group of answer choices A. the trait can be passed from fathers to sons B. the trait can be passed from fathers to daughters C. the trait can be passed from mothers to sons D. the trait can be passed from mothers to daughtersarrow_forward
- In humans, the gene for albinism (a) is recessive to the gene for normal skin pigmentation (A). If two heterozygous persons have children, what is the probability they will have a child who is an albino? What is the probability they will have a child that is a carrier of the recessive gene?arrow_forwardHemophilia 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. Suppose, a man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous dominant for the trait, what is the chance of having children who are hemophiliacs? (XH = normal; Xh= hemophiliac) * a. 0% b. 75% c. 100% d. 25%arrow_forwardTrait W is found in the individuals represented by the shaded symbols in the following pedigree.
