Question

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?
