A) X represents the normal allele while X* represents the haemophilia allele.
B) The unaffected granddaughter will be Carrier, the probability would be 1. Since another granddaughter is affected which indicates that she has both the haemophilia causing alleles. Therefore both the parents (II-3 & II-4) must have at least one X* allele. The unaffected granddaughter received one X from II-3 and another X* from II-4 (because II-4 is affected male and has only haemophilia causing allele).
C) There are four possible genotypes of offspring of parents: XX, XX*, XY, X*Y.
Out of four only one is haemophilic. Thus the probability of child being affect = 1/4.
DO EITHER QUESTION 11 OR QUESTION 12. NOT BOTH. We will only mark Question 11 if...
4. [15 pts total] Sam has hemophilia (a recessive, X-linked condition) but his daughter Margaret has normal phenotype. Margaret marries Mark who is not hemophiliac. A. [3 pts] If Margaret and Mark have a daughter, what is the probability that she will be a hemophiliac? B. [3 pts] If Margaret and Mark have a son, what is the probability that he will be a hemophiliac? C. 13 pts] If Margaret and Mark have four sons, what is the probability that...
Hemophilia is a sex-linked X-linked recessive trait. A homozygous normal woman marries a normal man whose brother has hemophilia. What are the chances of them having a hemophiliac son; hemophiliac daughter?
In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers) X H X H = female, normal / X H Y = male, normal X H X h = female, carrier X h X h = female, hemophiliac / X h Y= male, hemophiliac Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier....
Hemophilia in humans is a recessive sex-linked trait. A man with hemophilia and a woman who does not have hemophilia have a daughter who does not have hemophilia. She then marries a man who does not have hemophilia. What is the probability that their first child will be a daughter with hemophilia? A daughter without hemophilia? A son with hemophilia? A son without hemophilia? If the couple has four sons, what is the probability that all four will be born...
6. If you cross a woman with type A blood and a man with type B and both ha dominant and one recessive allele for blood type what are the possible genotypes of their offspring? Use the Punnett square below to help you determin etermine this. 7. Choroideremia is a disease that causes degeneration of the retina of the eye. The recessive allele that causes this condition is found on the X chromosome. Using the square below, cross a woman...
3. Colour-blindness is a X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was colour-blind, marries a colour-blind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is colour-blind? (use the letter "B") 4. A man and woman, both of normal vision, have: 1) a colour-blind son (#1) who has a daughter of normal vision 2) a daughter (#1) of normal vision who has one colour-blind son and one normal vision son 3) another daughter (W2) of...
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. If a hemophiliac male marries a carrier female, what percent of their daughters will have hemophilia? The gene for yellow body color in Drosophila is recessive and sex-linked. Its dominant allele b+ produces wild-type body color while the recessive allele, b- produces yellow body color in homozygous individuals. List the phenotypes and genotypes of the progeny from the following matings: a. yellow female x wild-type male b. wild-type (carrier) female x wild-type male c....
answer all questions to get a thumbs up 4. A woman has a Widow's peak (dominant), but she does not know her genotype. She marries a man who has a straight hairline and they have 13 children. Nine have widow's peaks and four have straight hairlines a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b. What are the genotypes of the children? C. Explain how you arrived at your answers. G host 5. In humans, Phenylketonuria (PKU) and Lactose intolerance...
For each of these problems, be sure to justify your answer(s) by including an allele key, parental cross (genotypes), phenotypes, and the resulting Punnett square representing all possible mating of eggs and sperm. 1. Tom and his wife Julie are both carriers for cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disease. What is the chance that their children will have cystic fibrosis and carriers? 2. In cattle, a dominant “Dexter” gene, combined with its recessive allele, results in abnormally short legs, while...
6. Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "XH” for normal and "Xh" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (XX) but a man will have only one allele (XY). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b....
