Question

Answer part D please

The Xb locus on Alouatta genus, the howler monkey X chromosome has 2 alleles, b+ and b. The
b+ allele causes the presence of the Xb surface protein on their granulocyte cells, while the
recessive allele b which does not allow the antigen to appear. The Xb locus is at 15
centimorgans, from the GRG locus. The GRG locus produces a normal enzyme activity.
Individual howler monkeys with one form of an eye condition have the grg/grg genotype, with
the males grg/Y presenting the condition. A male howler monkey with the eye condition caused
by this enzyme mutation and no Xb antigen has a normal female howler monkey daughter with
Xb antigen. This howler monkey female daughter is expecting a little howler monkey from the
mating from a male howler monkey from a different tree.
A) Determine the genotype of the howler monkey daughter, from the problem.
B) Determine the types and percentages of each gametes in oogenesis produced of the
howler monkey daughter female, based on the map distance given.
C) If this female howler monkey has a male-young, what is the probability the he will lack
the Xb antigen and have this eye disease?
D) What is the probability that a male-young will have both the eye disease and the Xb
antigen?
