n the genetically inherited disease called hemophilia. From the information in he pedigree chart (right), answer the following questions: Hemophilia in humans a) If 112 marries a normal man, what is the probability of her first child being a hemophiliac? 1 2 b) Suppose her first child is actually a hemophiliac. What is the chance that her second child will be a boy with hemophilia? 2 3 c) If 114 has children with a hemophiliac man, what is the probability that her first child will be phenotypically normal? d) If the mother of 12 was phenotypically normal, what phenotype was her father?

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.
