If a woman who is a carrier for Fragile X syndrome (an X-linked disorder) has children with a man who does not have the disorder, what chance do their daughters have of being carriers of Fragile X? none 50% 100% 25%
Answer-
Probability of having daughter is 1/2 or 50%
Probability of having daughter who is carrier of Fragile X syndrome is 1/2 1/2 = 1/4 or 25%
Calculation is given below:

Lab Exercise 10 6) Fragile X disorder is a sex linked recessive disorder. Albinism is an autosomal recessive characterized by a lack of pigment in the skin, eyes and hair. 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. Kyra marries Randy who has albinism, and does not ha Fragile X disorder. a. What is Kyra's genotype? b....
A woman with the recessive, X-linked disorder hemophilia has children with a male who is color-blind, also a recessive X-linked disorder. What is the probability that their children will have hemophilia and have normal vision? a. 0 b. 1/4 c. 1/2 d. 3/4 e. 1
SEX-LINKED TRAITS 8. Create a Punnett square to determine the offspring that would result from a cross between a woman with normal vision, who carries the allele for color-blindness, and a man who has normal vision. Note: color-blindness is an X-linked recessive tret What are the genotypes of the parent? List all possible genotypes of the offspring. male, normal male, color-blind female, normal vision female, carrier 50% Co hat percentage of their sons would be color-blind? What percentage of their...
A certain type of hemophilia is X-linked recessive in humans. A woman has this disease and has children with a man who has normal blood clotting (no hemophilia). All their [ Select ] ["sons", "daughters", "children (regardless of their sex)"] will have hemophilia.
In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers) X H X H = female, normal / X H Y = male, normal X H X h = female, carrier X h X h = female, hemophiliac / X h Y= male, hemophiliac Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier....
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?
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is inherited through an X-linked recessive allele. Afflicted children can be identified by self-mutilation behavior (chewing off fingers) and damaged nerves. What is the probablity of an afflicted baby (identified as a FEMALE by ultrasound) of a heterozygous woman and a normal man? 25% 50% 75% 100% 0%
Classify each description according to the X-linked recessive disorder it describes. Color blindness Fragile X syndrome Disorder that is the most common cause of inherited mental impairment, including the most common cause of autism :22 Disorder that affects the ability to, in most cases, distinguish reds from greens Disorder caused by the absence or minimal presence of factor VIII or factor IX, reducing blood clotting Duchenne muscular dystrophy Hemophilia Disorder caused by the lack of dystrophin, and characterized by wasting...
1. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder. If a male hemophiliac has children with a woman who is homozygous normal (has no family history of the hemophilia trait), what percentage of his male children would be hemophiliac (so, ignore the females) (a) 50% (1/2) (b) 100% (2/2) (c) 0% (0/2) 2. To perform a test cross, you cross an organism with a a. homozygous dominant b. homozygous recessive c. heterozygote
If a woman who is a carrier for sickle-cell anemia marries a man who is not a carrier, would any of their children get sickle-cell anemia? (Not sex-linked!) Prove it by doing a Punnett Square using the correct genotypes.
