G17. Color-blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. Mr. Jones, a color-blind man, and Mrs. Jones, a carrier for the color- blind gene, have a daughter named Jane. Mr. Smith, also a color-blind man, and Mrs. Smith, also a carrier, have a son named John. If John and Jane have a child together, what is the likelihood that the first child will be a color-blind son? A. 3/16 B. 3/8 C. 1/2 D. 3/4 E. 1

Question: The disorder: Red-Green color blindness Explain the mode of inheritance of the disorder (recessive, dominant, x-linked, etc.) . Can a person be a carrier of this disorder? • Describe the probability of having a child with the disorder -- give a specific scenario (ex. both parents are heterozygous for the trait) • Describe the symptoms associated with this disorder Explain the prognosis of a person born with this disorder
Mr. Steve W. genetics question Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traits A – normal skin pigmentation XH – normal blood a – albino Xh - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and is heterozygous for skin pigmentation. Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation and XHXh for blood traits. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaXHXh. Non-hemophilic man is XHY and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype, therefore, of the man is AaXHY. What is the probability that they will have: a child with normal skin? _____________________ a child with normal blood? _____________________ an albino girl? _____________________ A hemophilic boy? _____________________
