THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN YOUR LAB SECTION 1. A color-blind man marries a woman with...
A male achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was six feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Acondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. How many of their female children might be expected to be color blind and average to tall height (i.e., not an anchondroplastic dwarf)? all none half one of four three of four
Red-green color blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive (Xc). If a color-blind man marries a woman who is heterozygous for normal vision, what would be the expected phenotypes of their children with reference to this character? In your answer, specify in your phenotype descriptions the gender of the children. (For example, don’t just say 75% of the children would be colorblind – you would instead say 100 % of the daughters would be colorblind and 50% of the sons...
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...
A color-blind woman marries a man who is not color-blind and they have six children ( 3 boys and 3 girls) All of the sons and none of the daughters are color blind. a. What does this tell you about the color blind allele? b. Draw the pedigree of this family, using correct symbols and all of the genotypes you can determine with certainty. c. One of the daughters marries a man who can see color. State the phenotypic and...
11. A boy, whose parents and grandparents had normal vision, is color-blind. What are the genotypes for his mother and his maternal grandparents? Use XB for the dominant normal condition and Xb for the recessive, color-blind phenotype 12. In humans, sickle cell anemia is a disease caused by a mutation of a single locus gene which codes for an important blood protein. The allele for the normal protein (S) is dominant to that for the one causing sickle cell anemia....
Suppose color blindness is a X linked trait in humans. It is also recessive. A phenotypically normal woman has a father with color blindness. This woman marries a man with normal vision. What is the chance of their children being color blind? What is the chance of their daughters being color blind?
Red-green color blindness is due to an X-linked recessive allele in humans. A widow's peak (a hairline that comes to a peak in the middle of the forehead) is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Consider the following family history: A man with a widow's peak and normal color vision marries a color-blind woman with a straight hairline. The man's father had a straight hairline, as did both of the woman's parents. Use the family history to make predictions about...
Colorblindness is a sex-linked X-linked recessive trait. A normal woman marries a color-blind man. They have a color-blind daughter. What are the genotypes of all three people?

Suppose a woman with a color blind father and a mother with no history of color blindness in her family (i.e. she is homozygous dominant) marries a man with normal color vision. What are the likely genotypes and phenotypes of any children they have. (Note: your probability value should be given as a percentage - %) Briefly explain your answer
