True or False: Within a pedigree, a Y-linked trait of an affected father would ONLY pass it on to all the sons.
Mendel grew pea plants to show that a single gene determines flower color. Plants with one or more dominant alleles (A_) produce purple flowers, and plants with two recessive alleles (aa) produce white flowers. In this example, flower color is the ____________________.

- Your brother has an autosomal recessive disorder, while you are unaffected. Neither one of your parents is affected. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardHemophilia 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.arrow_forwardA healthy young couple, Charlie and Eva, both with families histories of cystic fibrosis, visits a genetic counselor before deciding whether to have children. The genetic counselor analyzed their pedigree to determine if they are carriers of the alleles for cystic fibrosis. On a sheet of paper, draw the given pedigree chart below and label each individual with the correct genotype.arrow_forward
- In a particular family, one parent has Type A blood, the other has Type B. They have four children. Find the genotype of all the children. Note that the ABO blood type gene has three alleles. IA and IB are codominant; i (forType O) is recessive to both.arrow_forwarda normal male marries a female that is a carrier for color blindness. they have five children - a colorblind male, a normal male, a female carrier, and two normal females. write out the pedigree chart for this familyarrow_forwardA child is heterozygous for blood type A whose father is homozygous dominant for the same blood type. Show one cross showing the genotype of the mother’s blood type.arrow_forward
- An autosomal trait that is expressed in both males and females but not in the same fashion (for example an allele may be dominant in males and recessive in females) is called a/an trait.arrow_forwardAlex (from part A) grows up and marries Molly - they end up having four children.Two of their children have normal vision and two of them have color blindness.b) Based on the information provided here, what would you expect Molly's genotype for color vision to be? Perform a Punnett Square to show your work (either below or by hand on paper). If you choose to do your Punnett Square by hand, attach your photo to the next question.arrow_forwardTwo normal visioned parents have a color-blind son.
