Answer 1

Answer #1

Individual 14 is a carrier of hemophilia marries a man with no hemophilia

	X	Y
X^h	X^hX	X^hY
X	XX	XY

so, the Probability of child to be hemophilic if 1/4 that is 0.25 or 25%

individual 14 is a carries the recessive allele for albinism and marries a man who also carries a recessive allele for albinism

	A	a
A	AA	Aa
a	Aa	aa

so, the probability of child to be albinism is 1/4 that is 0.25 or 25%

Now, the probability of a couple producing a male child having both albinism and hemophilia is 0.25 x 0.25 =0.0625 that is 6.25%

(c) Individual 14 carries a recessive allele for albinism (lack of normal body pigment) which is not sex-linked. She marries a man who is also a carrier for albinism but who does not carry the hemophilia allele. The genes exhibit independent inheritance. Using the symbol a for albinism and A for normal pigmentation, show by means of a suitable genetic diagram, the probability of this couple producing a male child who has both hemophilia and albinism.

Name Sex-linked traits are genetic char segments of DNA found on chromosomes that Sex-Linked Traits Senetic characteristics determined by genes located on sex chromosomes. Genies are and on chromosomes that carry information for protein production and that are sponsible for the inheritance of specific traits Genes exist in alternative forms called alleics. or a trail is inherited from each parent Like traits originating from genes on autosomes (non-se chromosomes), sex-linked to omosomes), sex-linked traits are passed from parents to offspring...

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....

HINT: THE GENES INO INVOLVED ARE ON TWO DIFFERENT CHROMOSOMES! Kyra is a carrier for Fragile X disorder and is unaffected by albinism. Kyra's mother has unpigmented skin, eyes and hair.

A woman with normal blood clotting mates with a man who has hemophilia. Their first child is a boy who has hemophilia. Tests show that the father and son both have the same form of hemophilia, that it is X-linked, and that the boy has normal genetic inheritance. You can predict that if the couple has more children together, it is likely that O a. half of the boys and none of the girls will have hemophilia O b. all...
