Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. A. Symptoms of hereditary hemochromatosis include fatigue, joint pain, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, skin discoloration, delayed puberty in males, and premature menopause in women. All of these symptoms result a single mutation in a specific gene. Name and define this genetic phenomenon and explain how it relates to this specific genetic situation described above.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia as well as red-green colorblindness. She has one son that has hemophilia, then one son that is colorblind. Several years later, she has a daughter that has symptoms consistent with hemophilia as well as an attenuated color blindness. How would this come about? (Draw a diagram…) Explain you answer step by step.

Hereditary hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron is stored in the body's tissues and organs, particularly the skin, heart, liver, pancreas, and joints. Because humans cannot increase the excretion of iron, excess iron can overload and eventually damage tissues and organs. Anthony and Melinda met at a support group for individuals who have hereditary hemochromatosis. They were advised by their genetic counselor that it would be risky to have children, since both of them are homozygous for the same recessive allele that causes this condition. Nevertheless, they decided to have a child together. During Melinda’s pregnancy, amniocentesis and genetic testing were performed, and it was confirmed the fetus was homozygous for the hereditary hemochromatosis allele. At birth, the baby appeared completely normal, and as the child continued to grow and mature, the couple were surprised that he seemed…
If a male has fragile X syndrome, is his mother or father more likely to be a carrier for the disease? Why?
In a particular family, children of a diseased mother are all affected, and their maternal grandmother was also affected. But the cousins (children of maternal uncle) are not affected. No disorders were recorded in the paternal side. Can you identify the type of this disorder and provide justifications in support of your identification?
