Concept explainers

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.

Question

One form of the bleeding disorder known as von Willebrand disease is an autosomal recessive disease. A man who is a carrier marries a woman who is also a carrier of the disease.

(a) What percentage of their children are likely to have a disease phenotype?

(b) What percentage of their children are likely to have a normal phenotype?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.
