Considering an X-linked dominant trait, if an affected woman and an unaffected man decide to have children, which of the answer choices is possible for their children?
a.
All of their sons are expected to show the dominant trait.
b.
Their daughters are expected be heterozygous for the gene.
c.
Their daughters are not expected to show the dominant trait.
d.
Their sons are expected to be heterozygous for the gene.
e.
All their children, whether male or female, are expected to show the dominant trait.
Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X
chromosome. Therefore, it is referred to as a sex-linked disease.
The recessive allele causes the disease. A man with hemophilia
(xhy) marries a woman who is homozygous dominant (XHXH.
A. Illustrate using a Punnett square the probability that their children
will have the disease.
B. Will any of their children have the disease?
C. Predict the probabilities of their children having the disease.
A couple contemplating a pregnancy are in today for an appointment at a genetic counselling clinic to identify and interpret their risk of an inherited disorder. The nurse explains during teaching that all the following are characteristic features of fragile X chromosome of a 3-year-old male child EXCEPT:
a. Macroorchidism
b. Autistic behavior
c. Intellectual disability

- Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a disorder that affects the normal function of red blood cells and can eventually lead to anemia. The trait is controlled by a recessive allele found on 4. the X chromosome. An affected son was born to a man and woman who were unaffected. The woman's mother was affected while the father was normal. a. Indicate the gene notation. b. Give the genotypes of the affected boy's parents. Derive the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring. Show and label your solutions properly. What is the probability that they will have a phenotypically normal daughter as their first child? C. d.arrow_forwardA young man went to the doctor because he had small testes and enlarged breasts.

- Ichthyosis is a rare X-linked recessive disorder that is characterized by scaling of the skin around the neck and lower extremities. A young couple, Bart and Jenny, are expecting a child and are aware there might be a chance that their child could be affected by this disorder. Jenny (the wife) has ichthyosis, but Bart (her husband) is unaffected and completely normal with respect to the allele responsible for this disorder. A. Both Bart and Jenny were Biology majors as undergraduates. Knowing a little about the pattern of X-linked recessive inheritance, Bart and Jenny were concerned when ultrasound revealed that they would be having a son. However, genetic testing performed on the baby shortly after birth revealed that their newborn son, Mark, did not have ichthyosis. Explain how this could be the case, assuming that the gene responsible for ichthyosis is fully penetrant. If non-disjunction occurred, assume it happened in only one of the two parents, and during only one of the two…arrow_forwardIf a genetic disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive, one would expect to find which of the following? A. Two affected individuals never have an unaffected child. B. Two affected individuals have affected male offspring but no affected female children. C. If a child has the disease, one of his or her grandparents will have had it. D. In a marriage between an affected individual and an unaffected one, all the children are unaffected.arrow_forwardA type of baldness is sex –limited such that the allele that causes it is dominant in men and recessive in women. Thus baldness is much more common in men than women even though the locus is on an autosome. How is the pattern of inheritance in this example different from X-linked inheritance of a recessive allele? Group of answer choices A. the trait can be passed from fathers to sons B. the trait can be passed from fathers to daughters C. the trait can be passed from mothers to sons D. the trait can be passed from mothers to daughtersarrow_forward
