. Males have hemophilia when they are hemizygous fora nonfunctional recessive mutant allele of the X-linkedgene for clotting factor VIII. Factor VIII is normallysecreted into the blood serum by cells in the bonemarrow (and other specialized cells) that produce it.a. Do you think that females heterozygous for thehemophilia disease allele could have hemophiliain some parts of their bodies and not others?b. If such a female carrier of hemophilia suffered acut, would her blood coagulate (form clots) faster,slower, or in about the same time as that of an individual homozygous for a normal allele of the factorVIII gene? Would the rate of clotting vary significantly among heterozygous females?

.Certain forms of human color blindness are inherited as X-linkedrecessive traits. Hemizygous males are color-blind, but heterozygous females are not. However, heterozygous females sometimeshave partial color blindness.A. Discuss why heterozygous females may have partial color blindness.B. Doctors identified an unusual case in which a heterozygousfemale was color-blind in her right eye but had normal colorvision in her left eye. Explain how this might have occurred.
Color blindness in humans is controlled by an X-linked completely recessive allele (Xc), while breast cancer is controlled by an autosomal completely dominant allele, B. A color blind male, who is a heterozygote carrier for breast cancer has three children/n with a normal eyed female (whose mother was color blind), who is homozygote recessive for the breast cancer allele. What is the probability that out of three children, 2 will be color blind males, and not show breast cancer, and one will be a color blind female, who shows breast cancer?
Hair texture is specified by wither curly or straight hair, both of which are dominant traits. A person heterozygote for hair texture has wavy hair.

Harry's wife is heterozygous for both traits a. show the genotypes of Harry and his wife b. show the punnett square c. what is the chance that the daughters of this couple are heterozygous for both traits d. what is the chance that any of their daughters will suffer from hemophilia e. what is the change that any of their sons will not have the disease hemophilia and will be heterozygous with respect for hair color f. what is the chance that any of their sons will suffer from hemophilia g. what percentage of their children will have curly hair, what percentage will have straight hair, and what percentage will have wavy hair
.Hemophilia is a blood-clotting disorder in humans that followsan X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. A man with hemophilia and a woman without hemophilia have a daughter withhemophilia. If you let H represent the normal allele and h thehemophilia allele, what are the genotypes of the parents?a. Mother is XHXhand father is XhY.b. Mother is XhXhand father is XhY.c. Mother is XhXhand father is XHY.d. Mother is XHXhand father is XHY
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease. A hemophilic man marries a woman who is not a carrier of the disease. (a) Draw a Punnett square showing the genotypes of their children. (b) What are the chances that their daughters will be carriers of the disease? (c) What percentage of their children are likely to have the disease?
Colour-blindness is the result of an X-linked recessive allele, Xc. The allele for normal eyesight is XC. (a) A woman with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a colour-blind man. Give the genotypes and phenotypes of their children. What ratio of their children can be expected to be colour-blind? (b) A man with normal colour vision whose father was colour-blind marries a woman carrier of the colour-blind allele. What is the likelihood that their children will be colour-blind? Carriers of the trait?
Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait where XH gives normal blood clotting and is dominant to the hemophilia allele X h Identify the genotypes of… 1) a woman with normal blood clotting whose father had hemophilia 2) a normal man whose father had hemophilia. What is the probability that a mating between these two individuals will produce a child, regardless of sex, that has hemophilia?
Classical hemophilia is a sex-linked disease caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. (Hemophilia refers to diseases that cause delays in blood clotting.) If a woman who is acarrierof classical hemophilia has children with a normal male, give the ratios of the possible offspring with respect to classical hemophilia. Be sure to state both the genotypes and the phenotypes of each offspring. For genotypes, use X for a normal X chromosome, Xh for an X chromosome with the hemophilia gene, and Y for a normal Y chromosome. For phenotypes, if the offspring is female, be sure to state if homozygous normal, a carrier, or has the disease. If the offspring is a male, be sure to state if normal or has the disease.
In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.
Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation.  Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h .  Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y. What is the probability that they will have:a. a child with normal skin? _____________________b. a child with normal blood? _____________________c. an albino girl? _____________________d. A hemophilic boy? _____________________
