G6PD deficiency is an X-Linked recessive disorder. When people who have this disorder eat fava beans, they have a dangerous acute reaction in which a large number of their red blood cells rupture.

If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many types of gametes can she produce with respect to that allele?
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits As a genetic counselor investigating a genetic disorder in a family, you are able to collect a four-generation pedigree that details the inheritance of the disorder in question.

Muscular Dystrophy is an X linked recessive disease. Maria and Nick are getting genetic counseling by you to determine thier risk of the disease on their new born child.If Maria is a carrier and Nick is healthy. What is the probability of a daugther with muscular dystrophy ? A son?
X-linked ichthyosis is an X-linked recessive trait that manifests in part as dry, scaly skin (“ichthy-” = fish or fish like). Suppose a couple are considering having a child together. Parent A is heterozygous for the ichthyosis allele while Parent B is hemizygous negative for the ichthyosis allele.

Red–green color blindness is a human X-linked recessive disorder. Jill has normal color vision, but her father is color blind. Jill marries Tom, who also has normal color vision.

Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia?
