II-1 is a male and hence got his only X chromosome from his mother, who has not been shown to be a carrier. Therefore the probability of his developing the condition is zero (option d).
However, II-2 is female and got one X from her affected father. Assuming the condition to be dominant, she has a 92% probability of developing the condition later. This is so because the probability of a recombination, wherein she gets the STR locus 4 but not the gene for the condition is 8%.
This is an X-linked disease. So, the father (I-2) has the affected gene on X chromosome. Mother (I-1) has two X chromosomes (both are normal). Son (II-1) gets his only X chromosome from his mother, whereas he gets Y chromosome from his father.
So, there is no chance for II-1 to get the affected X chromosome from his parents. He will be normal.

Question 3 5 marks The following pedigree shows a family affected by a rare late-onset disease which is due to a mutation in a maternally imprinted gene. Individuals in generations I and II are all old enough to display the phenotype and all affected individuals are shown. Since this is a late onset disease, individuals in generation III are not yet old enough to display the phenotype, and therefore there are no affected individuals marked in this generation yet. The...

The pedigree shows the occurrence of a X linked recessive mendelian disease in a human family. Two unaffected family members were genotyped at a microsatellite locus and two different microsatellite alleles were observed (M1 and M2) I M1/M1 II 1 M1 M2 III 3 IV 3 5 a) Assume the disease and the microsatellite locus are completely linked.

8. The Addams family knows of three relatives who had Menkes disease, and X-linked recessive disorder in which a child does not grow, has brain degeneration, and dies by age two. Affected children have peculiar white stubby hair. Wanda Addams is hesitant about having children because her two sisters have each had sons who died from Menkes discase. Her mother had a brother who died of the condition, too. The pedigree for the family is shown below. A. Fill...
