Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a recessive disorder caused by a rare,loss-of-function allele that is located on the X chromosome in humans. Anunaffected woman (i.e., without disease symptoms) who is heterozygousfor the X-linked allele causing Duchenne muscular dystrophy has childrenwith a man with a functional (non-disease-causing) allele. What is theprobability that this couple will have an unaffected son?

In Figure 2-19, assume that the pedigree is for mice, inwhich any chosen cross can be made. If you bred IV-1with IV-3, what is the probability that the first baby willshow the recessive phenotype?
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
Table shows that Turner syndrome occurs when an individualinherits one X chromosome but lacks a second sex chromosome.Can Turner syndrome be due to nondisjunction duringoogenesis, spermatogenesis, or both? If a phenotypically normalcouple has a color-blind child (due to a recessive X-linkedallele) with Turner syndrome, did nondisjunction occur duringoogenesis or spermatogenesis in this child’s parents? Explainyour answer.
What is the approximate percentage chance that individual V.2, shown in the pedigree diagrams above will have inherited the X-linked recessive allele shown to be carried by his great great grandmother?
Figure 5.1 presented abbreviated pedigrees looking at the inheritance of X-linked human conditions. El Figure 5.1a initiated with a male who was color blind and had hemophilia A. The grandsons and great-grandsons of this male were either color blind and had hemophilia A, or they had neither condition. a. Which if any individuals in the G Fig. 5.1a pedigree is a double heterozygote? b. Are any of the grandsons or great-grandsons shown in the pedigree the product of recombinant type gametes? c. Do the genes responsible for color blindness and hemophilia A segregate independently? d. If you examined many pedigrees, each starting with a man who was simultaneously color blind and had hemophilia A, do you think any grandsons or great-grandsons would ever have one condition but not the other? L Figure 5.1b initiated with a male who was color blind and had hemophilia B. The grandsons of this male were either only color blind, only had hemophilia B, had both conditions, or they had neither…

A woman who sought genetic counseling is found to be heterozygousfor a chromosomal rearrangement between the second andthird chromosomes. Her chromosomes, compared to those in anormal karyotype, are diagrammed on the next page:(a) This woman is phenotypically normal. Does thissurprise you? Why or why not? Under what circumstancesmight you expect a phenotypic effect of such arearrangement?
