Question
1. Hemophilia is a disease inherited as a X-linked recessive trait while pattern baldness is
controlled by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females.
A hemophilic man who is also homozygous for baldness has children with a woman
who is not hemophilic but a carrier and heterozygous normal-haired. Show the
parental genotypes, the Genotypic ratio (GR) of the offspring and their phenotypic
ratio. Separate the total number of the male offspring from female offspring. For
example, if there are 8 total number of offspring, count how many are females and
how many are males. So if there are 4 females, then the denominator for the
genotypic ratio and phenotypic ratio for female offspring is 4. You can convert it to
percentage if you want. Answer the following:
a. Among the female offspring, what is the probability of having hemophilic but
normal haired child?
b. Among the male offspring, what is the chance of having a child with normal blood
clotting but bald?
