A human child is born with hemophilia (a condition in which the blood does not clot). Neither parent has hemophilia, and the gene whose (recessive) allele causes hemophilia resides on the X chromosome. What are the genotypes of the parents? (No explanations are needed.)

Normally you cant inherit both copies of a homologous chromosome from the same parent. Why? Assuming that no crossing over has occurred, how likely is it that one of your non-sex chromosomes is an exact copy of the same chromosome your maternal grandmother had? Explain your answer.
If a man with blood type A, one of whose parents had blood type O, marries a woman with blood type AB, what are the putative genotypes of the offspring?
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease, and the gene is located on the X chromosome. A man with hemophilia marries a woman with hemophilia. What is the probability of a son they have been a hemophiliac?
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?
If a girl has blood type AB and her mother is also AB, what are the genotype(s) and corresponding phenotype(s) of any male who could not be the girl’s father?
In humans, brown eyes (B) are dominant over blue. A brown eyed man marries a blue-eyed (b) woman and they have three children two of whom are brown-eyed and one of whom is blue-eyed. if the male has brown eyes but has a blue-eyed child, what must his genotype be?
If a father has Marfan syndrome, a dominant disorder, and passes it down to all of his children, but his wife does not have the disorder, what would the punnett square between the father and mother look like? Why is this his genotype if all of his children had Marfan syndrome?
A child has a genotype AA, what possible combination of parental genotypes could have produced this offspring?
A man with blood type O (genotype ii) has a father with blood type A and a mother with blood type B. Is this man a legitimate child of these parents? What is a possible phenotype of an individual that results from a woman with type AB blood and a man with type B blood? Explain with diagrams.
Hemophilia is another example of an X-linked disease caused when a recessive allele (Xh) is expressed. If a normal male reproduces with a heterozygous normal female, what are the expected genotypes and phenotypes? Will any of their daughters develop hemophilia?
In a disputed parentage case, the child is blood type O, while the mother is blood type A. What blood type would exclude a male from being the father? Would the other blood types prove that a particular male was the father?
A woman with type A blood marries a man with type O blood. They have six children, all of whom have type A blood. What are the probable genotypes of the parents? Could they ever have a child with type O blood?
