. Two mothers give birth to sons at a busy hospital. The son of the first couple has hemophilia, a recessive, X-linked disease. Neither parent from couple #1 has the disease. The second couple has an unaffected son, despite the fact that the father has hemophilia. The two couples challenge the hospital in court, claiming their babies must have been swapped at birth. You must advise as to whether or not the sons could have been swapped. What would you say? キ 5. In a dispute over parentage, the mother of a child with blood group O identifies a male with blood group A as the father. The mother is blood group B. Draw Punnett squares to show possible genotype/phenotype outcomes to determine if the male is the father and the reasons (if any) for further dispute:

, use the following information: type A hemophilia, a disorder in which blood does not clot properly, is governed by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. Suppose a healthy woman is a carrier and marries a man with hemophilia A, and they are expecting a child. Use XH = normal clotting, Xh = hemophilia. What is the chance the child will be male? What is the chance the child will be a male with hemophilia? What is the chance the child will be a female with hemophilia?
Please use instructions from above Hemophilia is an x-linked disease of the blood. What is the probability of producing an unaffected son by a father who is unaffected and a mother who is a carrier of hemophilia?
reference text Ph.D Fernando, Harvard Professor of Genetic Epidemiology, knows a thing or two about Twins. He must know as he is head of the Twin Research Department where he works with about 3,500 pairs of identical twins, researching the influence of a person's genes on everything from the probability of being obese, whether or not they have religious beliefs, and, how, do they fall into sentimental issues. Anyone who is a twin, or who has ever met a pair of identical twins, can attest to how remarkably similar they are to each other, even in the rare cases of adopted twins raised in separate homes.A recent article begins with an introduction to two middle-aged twin sisters called Susan and Polly, one of the pairs of twins in the study group of the Department of Research of Harvard. Although they were treated almost as a single person growing up, with cuts from identical hair and clothes, the twins began to diverge in their teens as they they gained the freedom to make their own…
State whether each of the following genetic defects is inherited as an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked recessive trait: phenylketonuria (PKU), sickle cell anemia, cystic fibrosis, Tay-Sachs disease, Huntingtons disease, and hemophilia A.
Why is it more efficient to perform a test cross with a homozygous recessive donor than a homozygous dominant donor? How could the same information still he found with a homozygous dominant donor?
If you knew that a devastating late-onset inherited disease runsin your family (in other words, a disease that does not appearuntil later in life) and you could be tested for it at the age of 20,would you want to know whether you are a carrier? Would youranswer be likely to change when you reach age 40?
1. Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? Use a punnet square. 2. A phenotypically normal man, who has a hemophiliac brother, marries a normal woman, who is not a carrier. What is the probability that any of their children will be hemophiliac? Use a punnet square. 3. Color-blindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was color-blind, marries a colorblind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is color-blind? Use a punnet square. 4. A man and woman, both of normal vision, have: 1) a color-blind son (#1) who has a daughter of normal vision 2) a daughter (#1) of normal vision who has one color-blind son and one normal vision son 3) another daughter (#2) of normal vision who has five sons, all with normal vision What are the probable genotypes of the…

Y-linked Amelogenesis imperfecta (A), a congenital disorder that affects the formation of the teeth enamel making affected individuals at higher risk for dental cavities and related problems. X-linked dominant hypophosphatemia (H), a form of rickets or vitamin D deficiency that affects the bones which causes pain, osteoarthritis, and abnormal shapeabnormal shape. X-linked recessive progressive Duchenne muscular dystrophy (m), a muscular disorder, leading to an irreversible gradual wasting of skeletal muscles. Hannah, the same as her mom, is heterozygous for both X-linked traits. While her dad is suffering from both muscular dystrophy and hypophosphatemia. Hannah's husband, Joey has a mom suffering from musculardystrophy regardless of having normal bone conditions. His dad has been blessed with strong muscles and bones, however, he is suffering from amelogenesis imperfecta. What are the complete genotypes of each person?a. Joey's momb. Joey's dadc. Joeyd.

Answer with reason: When counseling parents about genetic transmission of an X-linked disorder, which concept does the nurse keep in mind? a. An X-linked disorder can be traced through the paternal lineage. b. A female can only pass an X-liked disorder to a son c. A male can pass an X-linked mutation to a son or a daughter d. A male with a mutation in an X-linked gene will manifest the disease. 5) The nurse explains to parents that if both of them are carriers of an autosomal recessive genetic mutation, the chance of each child NOT inheriting the disease (affected) is a. 25% c. 0% b. 75% d. 50% 0
QUANTITATIVE Recall that hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease. If a woman with hemophilia had children with a man without hemophilia, what is the chance that their first child will have the disease? What is the chance that their first child will be a carrier?
