Complete a Punnett Square for a male who is heterozygous for the polydactyly, and a female who is homozygous recessive. Polydactyly (having more than 5 fingers) is a dominant trait. Use the letter F and f to fill in the square. a) What is the male's phenotypes? b) What is the female's phenotype? c) What is the percent chance that an offspring will have more than 5 fingers?

A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. a) How many of their daughters might be expected to be color-blind dwarfs? b)What proportion of their sons would be color-blind and of normal height? c)They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal color vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes?
1. A) Apply the concept of sex linkage to explain why color blindness is more prevalent in men than in women. B) Mary is concerned that she may be a carrier for hemophilia, a sex-linked condition located on the X chromosome. Mary is married to John, who doesn't have hemophilia. Assuming Mary is a carrier, what are the genotype ratios expected for Mary and John's kids (specify for boys and for girls)? C) Mary and John have 2 boys, none of them has hemophilia. Can we use this fact as proof that Mary does not carry the allele for hemophilia? Explain your argument.
