Alkaptonuria is a metabolic disorder in which affected people produce black urine. Alkaptonuria results from an allele (a) that is recessive to the allele for normal metabolism (A). Sally has normal metabolism, buther brother has alkaptonuria. Sally’s father has alkaptonuria, and her mother has normal metabolism. Q. Give the genotypes of Sally, her mother, her father, and her brother.

Imagine you have a blood group of "X" which is recessive and expressed by xx. The dominant blood groups are Y and Z, where homozygous of these alleles are expressed as YY and ZZ, respectively. What will be the genotype of your parents blood group? Why? Please explain in your own words. [Max 200 words]
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?
Albinism causes the skin, hair, or eyes to have little or no color. It is also associated with vision problems. Albinism results from an allele a that is recessive to the allele for normal melanin production. Maya has normal skin color, but her sister has albinism.
