- Draw a Punnett square. cross an XX woman with an XY man. How many kinds of eggs can a woman produce in terms of their sex chromosomes? How many kinds of sperm cells can men produce in terms of their sex chromosomes? In any given fertilization event, what is the chance that a child will be XX? XY? In any given fertilization event, what is the chance that a child will be male? Female?Drosophila have XX/XY sex determination systems just like mammals. In Drosophila, loci for both eye color and body color are on the X chromosome. Red eye color (R) is dominant to white eye color (r), and tan body color (T) is dominant to yellow body color (t). Which of the following is the genotype for a female with a yellow body and red eyes, who is homozygous for eye color? Group of answer choices XRT XrT XRt XRT XRt XRt XRt XRTWhat is the phenotype of a person who has XXXY sex chromosomes? a. Klinefelter syndromeb. Turner syndromec. Poly-X female
- Butterflies have an X-Y sex-determination system that is different from that of flies or humans. Female butterflies may be either XY or X0, while butterflies with two or more X chromosomes are males. This photograph shows a tiger swallowtail gynandromorph, which is half male (left side) and half female (right side). Given that the first division of the zygote divides the embryo into the future right and left halves of the butterfly, propose a hypothesis that explains how nondisjunction during the first mitosis might have produced this unusual-looking butterfly. Question is also in the picture.An individual with XY chromosomes produces gametes where 50% have an extra sex chromosome and 50% have no sex chromosomes. Given this information, what is the probability a fertilized egg will have the genotype XO? Assume that the egg has the expected 23 chromosomes prior to fertilization. 1/3 1/2 1/8 1/4 It is not 1/3 or 1/4In humans color vision is X-linked, the gene for color vision is located on the X chromosome but is absent on the Y chromosome. Normal color vision (XN) is dominant over colorblindness (Xn). Suppose a colorblind man fathers the children of a woman with genotype XNXN. What is the genotype of the father? What proportion of daughters will be colorblind? What proportion of the sons will be colorblind?
- Which of the following karyotypic sex chromosome abnormalities result(s) in a male phenotype? (Select all that apply.) (a) XO (b) XXY (c) XXX (d) XYY (e) XXXY (f) XY with a complete deletion of the SRY geneDuchenne 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 conclusionA husband and wife have normal vision, although both of the couple's fathers are red-green color-blind, an inherited X-linked recessive condition. What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a normal son? Enter your answer as a fraction or a whole number. Hint: Remember, humans determine sex via the XX = female, XY = male system. Think about the probability of having either a son or a daughter and the probability of having red - green color blindness.
- 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 squareWhich of the following genotype(s) must a female child have in order to be color blind? XNXN XNXn XnXn XNY XnY (XN represents the normal color vision allele. Xn represents the color-blindness allele. Y represents the Y chromosome, which does not carry the color-vision gene.) Which of the following genotype(s) must a color-blind male have? Explain your rationale. XNXN XNXn XnXn XNY XnY (XN represents the normal color vision allele. Xn represents the color-blindness allele. Y represents the Y chromosome, which does not carry the color-vision gene.)What is a Barr body? How many Barr bodies in a person with genotype XXXXX? How is the structure of a Barr body different from that of other chromosomes in the cell? How does the structure of a Barr body affect gene expression? Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Heterozygous females are not color blind but they can sometimes have partial color blindness. Explain how this can occur.
