Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%

An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
Redgreen color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. Your friend is the daughter of a color-blind father. Her mother had normal color vision, but her maternal grandfather was color-blind. What is the probability that your friend is color-blind? (a) 1 (b) (c) (d) (e) 0
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder and blood type is autosomal. If two healthy parents, one of which is blood type A and the other blood type B, produce a son who has hemophilia and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a son with hemophilia and blood type B? 1/2 3/16 1/4 1/8 1/16
A man with X-linked color blindness marries a woman with no history of color blindness in her family. The daughter of this couple marries a normal man, and their daughter also marries a normal man. What is the chance that this last couple will have a child with color blindness? If this couple has already had a child with color blindness, what is the chance that their next child will be color blind?
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their male children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 4/4 100% or 4/4
A type of red-green colorblindness is inherited recessively on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier had children with a male that is not affected by the disease. Show your answers with the use of a Punnett square • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a child is affected by the disease? • What is the probability (% or likelihood) that a son is a carrier? (Careful!) • Is there a chance that a girl of the couple is affected by the disease?
Color-blindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was color-blind, marries a color-blind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is color-blind? (use the letter “B”)
An X-linked gene in man is for the disorder haemophilia. This is a recessive trait. Given that a woman who is a carrier of the disorder married a normal man, what is the probability of the following occurring? show COMPLETE cross. a haemophilic son______________________________ a haemophilic daughter _______________________ a normal daughter ____________________________ a normal son __________________________________
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. If Allison is heterozygous (a carrier), and her husband, Michael, is NOT colorblind. What is the chance that their female children will be colorblind? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their FEMALE children only, in other words if they have 1 female child, what is the probability that she will be born colorblind?) 0% 25% or 1/4 50% or 2/4 75% or 3/4 100% or 4/4

Hemophilia is another example of a 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? you must also give the gender of the child in your genotype and phenotype descriptions here.
