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.
Color blindness is an x-linked recessive disorder. A woman who is a carrier for color blindness has children with a man who is color blind.
Determine the probability that their child will be color blind.
a. 0 %
b. 25%
c. 50%
d. 100%
Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is a sex-linked disease which is caused by the recessive allele. Suppose, a man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous dominant for the trait, what is the chance of having children who are hemophiliacs? (XH = normal; Xh= hemophiliac) *
a. 0%
b. 75%
c. 100%
d. 25%
