Textbook Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2GP
G6PD deficiency is an X-Linked recessive disorder. When people who have this disorder eat fava beans, they have a dangerous acute reaction in which a large number of their red blood cells rupture. A mother has the disorder; the father does not. What is the chance that any child of this union will have the trait?

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of
autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive
X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have
normal vision produce a son who is color blind and is type
O, what is the probability that their next child will be a
female who has normal vision and is type O?
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?)

- Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder and blood type is autosomal. If two healthy parents, one of which is blood type A and the other blood type B, produce a son who has hemophilia and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a son with hemophilia and blood type B? 1/2 3/16 1/4 1/8 1/16arrow_forwardHaemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. If a woman is a carrier for haemophilia and has a child with a man who does not have haemophila, what is the probability of them having a child who has haemophilia? 75% of their children will have haemophilia. 25% of their children will have haemophilia. 100 % of their children will have haemophilia. 50% of their children will have haemophilia. 82% C F5 F4 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 * 4. 7 V 8 A 9 R Y JG YHIJ-K L/ * CO ( COarrow_forwardHemophilia is a X-linked genetic disorder causing blood clotting problem. A dominant allele on the X chromosome, H, results in normal blood clotting, but a recessive allele for this gene, h, prevents normal clotting. Julie has hemophilia. Her husband, Brian, does not. What is the probability that Julie and Brian have a child that suffers from hemophilia?

- Hemophilia is called "the royal disease" because many European royal families had members with the condition. Hemophilia is a recessive, X-linked disorder. Queen Victoria was unaffected by hemophilia, but was a carrier of the hemophilia gene (X X ). Suppose Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, was affected with hemophilia (X Y). What is the percent probability that a son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would be unaffected by hemophilia? probability of unaffected son: What is the percent probability that a daughter or son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would be affected by hemophilia? probability of affected child: What is the percent probability Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would have two affected females? probability of two affected females: % % %arrow_forwardAn individual with 46, XX genotype is diagnosed with Duchenne-type Muscular Dystrophy, a recessive X-linked disorder. Genetic tests confirm that this individual is a heterozygote for this disorder. Briefly, but specifically, explain how it’s possible that they are showing symptoms of this disorder.arrow_forwardA woman with normal blood clotting mates with a man who has hemophilia. Their first child is a boy who has hemophilia. Tests show that the father and son both have the same form of hemophilia, that it is X-linked recessive, and that the boy has normal genetic inheritance. You can predict that if the couple produces more children together, then the odds are that: Select one: O a. All of the children will have hemophilia. b. Half of the boys and half of the girls will have hemophilia. O C. None of the rest of the children should have hemophilia. O d. Half of the boys and none of the girls will have hemophilia.arrow_forward
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), marked by muscular degeneration, results from an X- linked recessive gene. Thus, a female who is heterozygous for this gene and does not have the disease can be a carrier. What kind of offspring can you expect from a DMD-affected male and a carrier female? Can there be a carrier male?arrow_forwardA 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 1/2arrow_forwardIn humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a son with brown eyes? What is the probability that this couple will have a color blind son with blue eyes?arrow_forward
- Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child? Show ALL work using punnett squares.arrow_forwardA man with X-linked color blindness marries a woman with no history of color blindness in her family. The daughter of this couple marries a normal man, and their daughter also marries a normal man. What is the chance that this last couple will have a child with color blindness? If this couple has already had a child with color blindness, what is the chance that their next child will be color blind?arrow_forwardHemophilia 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?arrow_forward
