Red-green colorblindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern in humans. A colorblind man and a woman with normal vision have four children, and one of them is a colorblind male. Does the mother have to be a carrier in this case? (Yes or No) What is the probability of the next child in this family being both colorblind and male? No, 25% Yes, 25% No, 50% Yes, 50%

Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?
Red-green color blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive (Xc). If a color-blind man marries a woman who is heterozygous for normal vision, what would be the expected phenotypes of their children with reference to this character? In your answer, specify in your phenotype descriptions the gender of the children. (For example, don’t just say 75% of the children would be colorblind – you would instead say 100 % of the daughters would be colorblind and 50% of the sons would be colorblind. Note that this is not a correct answer; it is just to give you an idea of how to explain the correct phenotypes of the cross.)___
In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a son with brown eyes? What is the probability that this couple will have a color blind son with blue eyes?
In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a child with normal vision and blue eyes?
For an X-linked recessive allele, what proportion of female offspring will be carriers in the cross of an affected father and a noncarrying mother? 0 percent 100 percent 50 percent
When looking at an X-linked recessive trait, if an affected mother and an unaffected father have a homogametic child, what is the probability that this homogametic child is unaffected? 0.25 1 0 0.5
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 certain type of deafness in humans is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. A man with this type of deafness married a normal woman, and they are expecting a child. They find out that they are distantly related. Part of the family tree is shown here.How would you advise the parents about the probability of their child being a deaf boy, a deaf girl, a normal boy, or a normal girl? Be sure to state any assumptions that you make.
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
A man who is a dwarf due to achondroplasia and has normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplasia is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children? What are the ratios for each? For full credit, you must show all work.
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Polydactyly (extrafingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. Martha has normal fingers and toes and normalcolor vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind andpolydactylous. Bill is color blind and polydactylous. His mother has a normal color vision andnormal fingers and toes. If Bill and Martha marry, what types and proportions of children canthey produce?
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?
