Chapter 10, Problem 5FIB
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Nondisjunction is the failure of separation of the chromosomal pair during anaphase stage of cell division. The nondisjunction results in an extra copy of one chromosome in one gamete and no copy of a chromosome in the other gamete. The failure in the separation of the chromosome can occur in any of the two meiotic stages because both can result in the extra chromosome or lack of chromosome in gametes.

A 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.

- Gender is someone’s conscious and unconscious feelings ofbelonging to one sex or another. Each year, about 1 in 4500children are born with a disorder involving sexual development,where the chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex isatypical. Here we will consider two similar cases with different outcomes.In case 1, a 2-year-old child displayed a mosaic chromosomecomposition of 45,X/46,XY, with one ovary, one testis, a uterus, andambiguous genitalia. In case 2, a fetus was diagnosed with a mosaicchromosome composition of 46,XX/47,XXY, and after birth, also displayedone testis, one ovary, a uterus, and ambiguous genitalia. Thechild in case 1 was adopted from an orphanage and raised as a girl.After consultation with the medical team, the parents decided tocontinue raising the child as a girl and requested surgery that wouldassign the child female sex characteristics.
