Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A person with hemophilia is lacking certain proteins that are necessary for normal blood clotting. Hemophilia is caused by a recessive allele so use "N" for normal and "n" for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is sex-linked, remember a woman will have two alleles (NN or Nn or nn) but a man will have only one allele (N or n). A woman who is heterozygous (a carrier) for hemophilia marries a normal man: a.What are the genotypes of the parents? b.What is the probability that a male offspring will have hemophilia? c. What is the probability of having a hemophiliac female offspring?

Hemophilia is a blood disorder which is sex-linked. A woman carrier has children with a normal man. Determine the chances for girls and boys with hemophilia. [Remember that females have the XX genotype and males have the XY genotype. Do not place an allele on the Y chromosome. Example: XN Xn for female; Xn Y for male]
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers). X H X H = female, non-hemophilic X H X h = female, carrier X h X h = female, hemophilia X H Y = male, non-hemophilic X h Y= male, hemophiliac a.) Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier. What is the probability that their children will have the disease? b.) A woman who is a carrier marries a non-hemophilic man. Show the cross. What is the probability that their children will have hemophilia? What sex will a child in the family with hemophilia be? c.) A woman who has hemophilia marries a non-hemophilic man. How many of their children will have hemophilia, and what is their sex?
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. The trait is X-linked. A female hemophiliac has a child with a man who is not a hemophiliac. What is the probability that this couple's child is a hemophiliac and what is the child's gender? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature.
Hemophilia is an X-linked disorder that affects the body’s ability to create blood clots. The allele for normal blood clotting, XH, is dominant over the allele for hemophilia, Xh. An unaffected daughter from the above cross married a man who does not have hemophilia. Determine the probability of their offspring being A daughter with hemophilia A daughter without hemophilia A son with hemophilia A son without hemophilia Express your answer as a phenotypic ratio. Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Phenotype: Affected female Unaffected female Affected male Unaffected male
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
A couple are both phenotypically normal but their son suffers from hemophilla, a sex linked recessive disorder. What fraction of their children are likely to suffer from hemophilia. what fraction are likely to be carriers.
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a phenotypically normal man with no family history of hemophilia. What is the probability that their first son will have hemophilia? 1/4 1 3/4 0 1/2
A group of people are studiedd with made up blood types AZ blood group which is a blood type controlled by a single gene with two loci. Indivuals in this group may be “D” ( = that their homozygous for the “D” allele) “Z” = homozygous for the “z” allele. *DZ= Heterzygous ** Total Number of people with each type 102 people have D type blood 96 have blood type DZ 31 people in this group have type “Z” QUESTION Now please calculate the allele frequencies of “D”and “Z” In doing so use variable “P”= to represent “D” allele And “q”= to represent “Z” allele Calculate the genotype frequencies expected in the population based of the q and p frequencies you calculate. A)frequency of the “Z” allele in the population ________ B)Frequency of the “D” allele in the populations__________ C)A number of expected individuals with the “DD” genotype in the population? __________ D) NUMBER OF EXPECTED INDIVIDUALS WITH THE “ZZ” GENOTYPE IN THE POPULATION?_______ E) A NUMBER OF EXPECTED…
Hemophilia A, a condition in which blood does not clot properly, is a recessive trait located on the X chromosome (Xh). A woman heterozygous for the trait marries a normal male. What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac daughters? What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac sons?
Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? (use the letter “H”)
