Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive inheritance is true? X-linked recessive traits appear more frequently in females than males. X-linked traits are only found in humans. Females who are carriers of an X-linked recessive trait may not exhibit any phenotypic effects. Males have two allele copies of X-linked genes.

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?
Redgreen color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. Your friend is the daughter of a color-blind father. Her mother had normal color vision, but her maternal grandfather was color-blind. What is the probability that your friend is color-blind? (a) 1 (b) (c) (d) (e) 0
Which of the following statements about X-linked recessive patterns is true? The X-linked trait appears more often in females than in males. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to an XY son. An affected father can never pass an X-linked recessive allele to a daughter. Heterozygous females always express the X-linked recessive trait.
Which of the following disorders in humans has an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern? Red-green color blindness Marfan syndrome Tay-Sachs disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria
Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. Under what circumstances will this condition manifest in a child? Top of Form If the child is a male and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its father has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a male and its father has the recessive allele
An individual that is genetically male develops as a female. Is this individual more or less likely to express an X-linked recessive disorder than an average female?
What will be the sex of an individual who is easily affected by an X-linked recessive trait? Why?
In humans, an X-linked disorder called coloboma iridia (a fissure in the iris_ is a recessive trait. A normal couple has an afflicted daughter. What would be the most plausible scenario for this situation? the female is not the biological mother, but the male is the biological father the father carries one recessive allele, and the mother carries one recessive allele the mother carries two recessive alleles the male is not the biological father, but the female is the biological mother both parents are heterozygous for the trait
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Why do males and females express recessive X-linked alleles differently?
There are several possible modes of inheritance through which traits can be inherited. The following pedigree charts represent four different inheritance patterns. Match each type of inheritance with the correct pedigree numbered above. (Use each number only once.)X-linked recessive:X-linked dominant:Autosomal recessive:Autosomal dominant:
A mother is a carrier of a recessive X-linked disorder. What are the chances of her offspring being afflicted by this disorder assuming a healthy father? 100% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 0% chance for male offspring; ~0% chance for female offspring 25% chance for male offspring; ~25% chance for female offspring 50% chance for male offspring; ~50% chance for female offspring
