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.
Why does a single X chromosome cause infertility and other abnormalities in Turner Syndrome subjects?
Hemophilia is another example of a X-linked disease caused when a recessive allele (Xh) is expressed.

A company that offers PGD terms an embryo “normal and healthy” if it has 46 chromosomes. Why is this statement misleading? , Two famous male actors had twins using a surrogate mother who carried two embryos that hadbeen fertilized in vitro, one with one man’s sperm and the other with the other man’s sperm. In terms of genetics, how closely are the babies, a boy and a girl, related to each other if they have different fathers?
Suppose gene B is X-linked and is embryonically lethal when homozygous or hemizygous recessive. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. They want to have three kids – one girl and two boys. Using a Punnett square, answer the following: What is the probability that they will have a son that dies before birth? _______________________ What is the probability that they will have a daughter who has the same genotype as her mother? _________________ One of their daughters eventually has a child with a man. One of their sons dies before birth. What was the genotype of this daughter? _______________________________ please show me how to get the answer and explain how you got and use a punnet square
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked, recessive disorder in which muscles waste away early in life, resulting in death in the teens or twenties. A man and woman in their late thirties have five children—three boys (ages 1, 3, and 10 years) and two girls (ages 5 and 7 years). The oldest, boy shows symptoms of the disease. What are the probabilities that their other children will develop the disease? Give only typing answer with explanation and conclusion
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?

A color-blind man marries a woman with normal vision whose father was color-blind. Remember that color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Hint: see figure 12.7 in book. A) What is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind daughter? B) What is the probability that their first son will be color-blind?
A woman is affected with Prader-Willi syndrome due to a deletion that includes both the Angelman syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome genes. Although rare, fertility among Prader-Willi syndrome individuals has been documented. For each of the following, state what is the probability of the outcome if she were to become pregnant. Assume the male partner in the pregnancy has no genetic disorder. A) a child with neither Prader-Willi syndrome or Angelman syndrome B) A child with AS C) A child with Prader-Willi syndrome
The diagrams represent two human somatic cells, one from a female and one from a male, and the letters in the cells represent alleles for two different traits. Male Female B = Brown hair (dominant) b = Blond hair (recessive) E = Brown eyes (dominant) e = Blue eyes (recessive) According to Mendel’s Law of Independent Assortment, what are the allele combinations expected in each of the sperm cells and what combinations are expected in each of the eggs produced by these cells during meiosis? One sperm fertilized one egg, and the resulting child has blond hair and brown eyes. How is this possible given the parents' genotypes?
Jan is concerned about using ART. She wants to be the genetic mother and have Darryl be the genetic father of any children they have. What methods of ART would you recommend to this couple? Jan, a 32-year-old woman, and her husband, Darryl, have been married for 7 years. They have attempted to have a baby on several occasions. Five years ago, they had a first-trimester miscarriage, followed by an ectopic pregnancy later the same year. Jan continued to see her OB/GYN physician for infertility problems but was very dissatisfied with the response. After four miscarriages, she went to see a fertility specialist, who diagnosed her with severe endometriosis and polycystic ovarian disease (detected by hormone studies). The infertility physician explained that these two conditions were hampering her ability to become pregnant and thus making her infertile. She referred Jan to a genetic counselor. At the appointment, the counselor explained to Jan that one form of endometriosis (MIM 131200) can be a genetic disorder, and that polycystic ovarian disease can also be a genetic disorder (MIM 184700) and is one of the most common reproductive disorders among women. The counselor recommended that a detailed family history of both Jan and Darryl would help establish whether Jans problems have a genetic component and whether any of her potential daughters would be at risk for one or both of these disorders. In the meantime, Jan is taking hormones, and she and Darryl are considering alternative modes of reproduction. Using the information in Figure 16.4, explain the reproductive options that are open to Jan and Darryl.
