Julie (a female) has hemophilia. Based on this information, what can we say about the genotypes of her parents? If Julie has children with a normal male, what is the chance that her sons have hemophilia? What is the chance that her daughters have hemophilia? A condition called Alport syndrome is caused by a dominant X linked allele. Males who have this condition usually have kidney failure, while females who are heterozygous for the condition have blood in the urine, but usually do not have kidney failure. A male has this condition and has children with an unaffected female What percent of his daughters will show any of the symptoms? What percent of his sons will show any of the symptoms?

Hemophilia A is transmitted by an X-linked recessive gene.With an affected father, what is the probability that a childwill have the disease? With an affected father and a carriermother, what is the probability?
Karen and Steve each have a sibling with sickle-cell disease.Neither Karen nor Steve nor any of their parents have thedisease, and none of them have been tested to see if they carrythe sickle-cell allele. Based on this incomplete information,calculate the probability that if this couple has a child, thechild will have sickle-cell disease.
Suppose two parents are healthy carriers of the sickle cell allele. The genotype of each parent is HbAHbS (HbAis the normal allele, and HbS is the sickle-cell allele).How likely is it for a child of these parents to have sickle cell anemia (HbSHbS)?
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?
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.)
Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify. What information can you provide the juryconcerning the allegation?
Which blood type phenotypes (A, B, AB, and/or O) provide anunambiguous genotype? Is it possible for a couple to produce afamily of children in which all four blood types are represented? Ifso, what would the genotypes of the parents have to be?
A man with hemophilia (a recessive, sex-linkedcondition) has a daughter without the condition.She marries a man who does not have hemophilia.What is the probability that their daughter willhave hemophilia? Their son? If they have foursons, what is the probability that all will be affected?
.Hemophilia is a blood-clotting disorder in humans that followsan X-linked recessive pattern of inheritance. A man with hemophilia and a woman without hemophilia have a daughter withhemophilia. If you let H represent the normal allele and h thehemophilia allele, what are the genotypes of the parents?a. Mother is XHXhand father is XhY.b. Mother is XhXhand father is XhY.c. Mother is XhXhand father is XHY.d. Mother is XHXhand father is XHY
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting (H) is dominant to the allele for hemophilia. 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 probable genotype for each member of the family?
Consider a woman whose brother has hemophilia A but whose parents are healthy. What is the chance that she has inherited the hemophilia allele? What is the chance that the woman will conceive a son with hemophilia?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is sex linked and usuallyaffects only males. Victims of the disease become progressively weaker, starting early in life.a. What is the probability that a woman whose brotherhas Duchenne’s disease will have an affected child?b. If your mother’s brother (your uncle) had Duchenne’sdisease, what is the probability that you have receivedthe allele?c. If your father’s brother had the disease, what is theprobability that you have received the allele?
