Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
Hemophilia is a blood disorder which is sex-linked. A woman carrier has children with a normal man. Determine the chances for girls and boys with hemophilia. [Remember that females have the XX genotype and males have the XY genotype. Do not place an allele on the Y chromosome. Example: XN Xn for female; Xn Y for male]
Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? (use the letter “H”)
Given the karyogram below, anSW Is this a male or female? female Do you see any abnormality? Yes 13 Write the karyotype (genetically speaking)|
A couple with the following blood types: the man has type AB and the woman has type B, discover their child has type O blood. Is it possible that one of these ‘parents’ may not actually be the genetic parent of this child? If so, which one, and how do you know?
Tongue rolling is an autosomal dominant trait. What would be the phenotype of a person who is heterozygous for this trait?
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait in humans. If a father and a son are both hemophiliacs, but the mother is normal, her genotype must be: XhXh XHXh XHXH XhY
If diseases such as cardiovascular disease (hypertension and atherosclerosis) are familial, is this an indication that there is a genetic contribution to these traits? What would you do to confirm that genetics is involved in this condition?
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
Two people are planning to have children together. Each person is heterozygous for the gene “G”. Using this letter, first list all the possible gametes that the two people can produce. Next, write all the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their offspring, using the correct genetic terminology (e.g., “genotype is homozygous dominant” “phenotype is dominant”). HINT: Use the gametes to construct a Punnett square and predict the possible offspring (you do not need to include the Punnett square in your answer
Wilma and Wally have one male child who has been diagnosed withDuchenne muscular dystrophy, an X-linked condition that results insevere atrophy of skeletal muscle. Neither parent has this condition.What is the probability that their next child will have Duchenne musculardystrophy?
Two people are planning to have children together. Each person is heterozygous for the gene “A”. Using this letter, first list all the possible gametes that the two people can produce.
