(a) State whether the trait is dominant or recessive, providing a reason for your choice:
(b) State whether the trait is sex-linked or not, providing a reason for your choice:
3. The recessive sex-linked gene (h) prolongs the blood-clotting time, resulting
in the genetically inherited disease called hemophilia. From the information in
the pedigree chart (right), answer the following questions:
Hemophilia in humans
(a) If 112 marries a normal man, what is the probability of her first child being
a hemophiliac?
1
(b) Suppose her first child is actually a hemophiliac. What is the chance that
her second child will be a boy with hemophilia?
4
(c) If 114 has children with a hemophiliac man, what is the probability that her first child will be phenotypically normal?
(d) If the mother of 12 was phenotypically normal, what phenotype was her father?
4. The phenotypic expression of a dominant gene in
Ayrshire cattle is a notch in the tips of the ears. In
the pedigree chart on the right, notched animals are
represented by the solid symbols.

(b) III3 x II12
(c) III3 x II14

(d) III1 x II15
