O. 2 Hemophilia A is an X-linked trait where blood clotting is affected due to a mutation in a clotting factor protein. Georgio has hemophilia and attends a support group where he meets Gbenga, who does not have the disease, but whose father has hemophilia. Her mother is not affected. A) If they marry, what percentage % of all their children will have hemophilia? % B) Georgio meets another woman, Maria, at the hemophilia support group. Maria also lacks the trait, but her mother has hemophilia while her father is unaffected. # 3 Would a Georgio-Maria mating provide a larger chance of having afflicted children compared to a Georgio-Gbenga mating? C) Show how you came up with your answer to B.

2. Hemophilia is an X linked recessive trait. There is a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia and marries a man with hemophilia. a) Complete the Punnett Square (it is a google drawing so you will have to double click it to go to the drawing and type in and around the square. Hold the CONTROL (or Command) button and press the PERIOD button to write a superscript/exponent.) b) What are the possible genotypes of the children? c) Could any of their children have hemophilia? If so, would the child be male or female? Explain your reasoning.

Hyperphosphatemic familial tumoral calcinosis (HFTC) is a condition characterized by an increase in the levels of phosphate in the blood (hyperphosphatemia) and abnormal deposits of phosphate and calcium (calcinosis) in the body's tissues. Research has described many causes for the condition that results in different patterns of inheritance. Here is what we know of the family members: (no other information is provided) II II IV V VI A) Based on the information presented, what is the most likely mode of inheritance? In your own words, explain your reasoning. B) What are the chances that V-6 and V-7 have an afflicted child? C) What are the chances that VI-9 and VI-10 have a HFTC afflicted child?

Explain why familial breast cancer shows a dominant pattern of inheritance in a pedigree even though it is recessive at the cellular level.
Below is a pedigree chart for a family that has a history of Alkaptonuria. Individuals infected with this condition can have darkened skin, brown urine, and can suffer from joint damage and other complications. Given this pedigree answer the following questions. Given the data in the pedigree chart is this genetic condition autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive? What are the genotypes for #1, #2, and #3? If either of the 4th generation "aa" females were to mate with a homozygous dominant male would any of their offspring illustrate the phenotype? Why or why not?
The given pedigree chart corresponds with generational cystic fibrosis. If individuals III-2 and III-3 were to have a second child, what is the probability that their second child will have cystic fibrosis?
1. In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will have the disease or not (but they won't be ever carriers) XH XH = female, normal XH Xh = female, carrier Xh Xh = female, hemophilic XH Y = male, normal Xh Y = male, hemophilic a) Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier. b) What is the probability that their children have the disease
y 301 Amelogenesis imperfecta is X-linked dominant. Affected XY individuals have extremely thin enamel on the teeth while XX carriers have grooved teeth from uneven deposition of enamel.
