Colorblindness and Hemophilia A are X-linked recessive conditions. A woman heterozygous for hemophila mutation and a colorblind man have a son who is haemophilic and has Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY). Which of the following nondisjunction events is the most compatible with the situation described? Please provide an explanation
a. meiosis I, mother
b. meiosis II, mother
c. meiosis I, father
d. meiosis II, father
e. a and b
Ans. E (a and b)
A woman heterozygous for hemophila mutation and a colorblind man have a son is haemophilic and has Klinefelters syndrome (XXY).
haemophilia is a X-linked recessive disorder- these disorders are never passed from father to son.
in the X-linked recessive conditions A Hetrozygous mother acts as carriers and transmit this trait to half of their sons, and it is never passed from father to son.
so in the above case son is haemophilic means trait come from the mother.
in the process of cell cycle the normal separation of chromosomes and sister chromatids in meiosis I and Meiosis II recepctively is termed as disjunction.when this segregation is not normal then it is called as nondisjunction results production of gametes which have unusual number of chromosomes and is a common mechanism for the production of trisomy or monosomy. Nondisjunction is the process can occur either in meiosis I or meiosis II phases of cell cycle.
here is the example of the nondisjunction event of the one X-chromosome during meiosis I in the female leads to production of XXY Karyotype.
this kind of nondisjunction may occur in Meiosis II also.

Two normal parents have a son with hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) that also has Klinefelter Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in the mother, the father, or could have occurred in either of the two parents? c. Did the nondisjunction event occur during meiosis I, meiosis II, or could it have occurred in either division during meiosis.
Two normal parents have a daughter with hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) that also has Turner Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in the mother, the father, or could have occurred in either of the two parents? Did the nondisjunction event occur during meiosis I, meiosis II, or could it have occurred in either division during meiosis.
7. A colorblind woman and a man with normal vision have a son with Klineflter syndrome (XXY) who has normal vision. Determine the parent in whom nondisjuction occurs, and whether nondisjuction takes place in the first of second meiotic division. Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. a. female meiosis I b. Either male meiosis I or II. c. male meiosis II d. female meiosis II e. male meiosis I
A woman with albinism (an X-linked recessive gene) has a child with a man who has normal pigment. Their child has albinism with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY). Where did the non-disjunction event occur? a.Could only have occurred in the mother b.Can't determine from the information given. c.Could only have occurred in the father d.Could have occurred in either the mother or the father
A man with a pointed nose and a woman with a round nose have a son with Klinefelter Syndrome (genotype XXY) with a pointed nose. Options for answers: Circle one for Father and for Mother: Nondisjunction Meiosis I Nondisjuction Meiosis II Neither Either I or II
3. In humans Red-Green colorblindness is due to an X-linked recessive allele. A woman was diagnosed with colorblindness in her right eye, but nommal vision in her left eye. It is known that her father was colorblind and that her mother had normal vision. Explain how the phenomena of dosage compensation could explain this woman's condition.

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...
