Let, X°Y - normal man
X'Y - colourblind man
X'X' - colourblind woman
X°X' - normal woman
X°X° - normal woman
Given, both husband (X°Y) and wife have normal visions. And both of their fathers are colourblind (X'Y).
We assume that the both of their mothers were normal/non-carrier (since both husband and wife have normal vision)
Wife's genotype: since her father was colourblind and mother was normal (non carrier) , the only possibility is that she is a carrier.
Now, CROSSING: Husband (X°Y) X wife (X°X')
X° | Y | |
---|---|---|
X° | X°X° | X°Y |
X' | X°X' | X'Y |
OFFSPRING:
X°X° - normal non-carrier female
X°X' - normal carrier female
X°Y - normal male
X'Y - colourblind male
a) probability (1st child normal son) = 1/2*1/2
= 1/4
b) probability ( 1st child normal daughter) = 1/2*2/2
= 1/2
c) probability ( colourblind son) = 1/2*1/2
=1/4
3. A husband and wife have normal vision. Both of their fathers are colorblind. What is...
A colorblind woman and a man with normal vision have 2 colorblind sons and 4 normal vision daughters. What is the probability that their next child will be a colorblind son?
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 who is colorblind who also has a colorblind daughter is suing a normal vision man for paternity. You have been called into court as an expert in genetics to testify. What do you tell the jury? Fully explain your answer. Do not just say he is or isn’t the father.
If both husband and wife are known to be heterozygous for the autosomal recessive condition of albinism, what is the probability that among their four children, three will be normal and one will have albinism? I know that each child has a 3/4 probability of being normal and 1/4 probability of having albinism. So is the answer 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4 * 1/4? Or do you just do 3/4 * 3/4 * 3/4?
Vitamin D-resistant rickets is a genetic condition inherited as X-linked dominant. A husband has this Vitamin D-resistant rickets but his wife does not. What is the probability that their first child will be a: (4 pts) a) normal son? b) normal daughter? c) son with Vitamin D-resistant rickets? d) daughter with Vitamin D-resistant rickets DHU The eye is an example of an organ that develops from a complex series of developmental events, controlled and influenced by many genes. This process...

THIS ASSIGNMENT IS DUE IN YOUR LAB SECTION 1. A color-blind man marries a woman with normal color vision. The woman's father was also color-blind. a.) What is the chance that their first child will be a colorblind son? A colorblind daughter? b.) If they have four children, what is the chance that two will be colorblind sons? 2、 The Brown's are both carriers of the recessive allele that causes the metabolic disorder called phenylketonuria. The gene responsible for the...
Red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. A woman with normal color vision has a father who is colorblind. The woman has a child with a man with normal color vision. What is the probability their child is a boy and is colorblind? A. 1/8 B. 1/4 C. 1/2 D. 3/4 E. 0
A male with normal vision marries a woman who is color-blind. She gives birth to a daughter who is also color-blind. The husband claims the child is not his. The wife claims the child is his. Can you support the argument of either parent? If yes, which one? Why?
