- 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.arrow_forwardTechnology that can separate X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm offers prospective parents the opportunity to choose the sex of their child. First, the sperm are dosed with a DNA-staining chemical. Because the X chromosome has slightly more DNA than the Y chromosome, it takes up more dye. When a laser beam shines on the sperm, the X-bearing sperm shine more brightly than the Y-bearing sperm.a. How might this technology be beneficial for couples that have a history of X-linked genetic disorders?b. How might this technology be misused?arrow_forwardCan a woman who is affected by an X-linked dominant disorder have a child who is not affected? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- Which gene on the Y chromosome triggers the development of male characteristics? What would happen if a male inherited a nonfunctional allele for this gene?arrow_forwardWhen entering puberty, Terry is identified as having XY gonadal dysgenesis, also known as Swyer syndrome. Which of the following characteristics does Terry most likely have? a.Terry has neither a typical male nor female chromosome configuration and has neither ovaries nor testes. b.Terry has the typical male XY chromosome configuration but very low levels androgens and female genitalia including a vagina. c.Terry has the typical female YY chromosome configuration but displays high levels of androgens resulting in male genitalia. d.Terry has the typical XY chromosome configuration but very high levels testosterone resulting in exaggerated male genitalia.arrow_forwardA married American lady named Vicky T., has been married for 7 years and has not been blessed with even a single child. With the consent of her husband, she decided to take fertility pills with the hope that with that medical procedure she would bear a baby. After taking the pills for 14 months, she conceived and was on the start of the 2nd trimester. In her usual check-up with her OB-Gyne, and after an ultrasound procedure, her hope to have a baby had risen to unprecedented proportions. She was told that she was carrying seven (7) babies in her womb. According to her OB-Gyne, she would not be able to have all the babies delivered as the seven would stress too much her uterus and this could be fatal to her and all her babies. Therefore, three of the designated weak babies would have to be removed before the end of the 2nd trimester. Vicky T., got confused and was in limbo. She wanted to be guided whether the procedure was ethical or not. If so, any guilt feelings she felt would be…arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardRead through the section on sex determination to answer the following scenarios. A person is born with XY chromosomes but physically and mentally presents as female until puberty. What biological factors play a role? A person with XX chromosomes are born with ambiguous genitals that resemble a penis, but they have internal ovaries. What biological factors could be involved? A person with XX chromosomes has a functional SRY gene on one of their X chromosomes. How would you expect them to develop? What role does birth order play in fetal development?arrow_forwardSex determination of child is done by whose chromosome?arrow_forward
- In X-Linked Dominant disorder, a gene responsible for a genetic disorder is located on the X chromosome. Only one copy of the allele is sufficient to cause the disorder Group of answer choices Both statements are incorrect Both statements are correct. Statement 1 is incorrect, statement 2 is correct Statement 1 is correct. Statement 2 is incorrectarrow_forwardMost sexual organisms are either male or female though some are hermaphroditic. In human beings and Drosophila (fruitfly), the sex of an individual is determined by the kind of sex chromosomes they possess. Males have two types of chromosomes, a big chromosome X and a small chromosome Y while females have only one kind, 2X or XX. The X and Y chromosomes segregate during the formation of mature spermatozoa (sprematogenesis) so that a mature sperm contains only either X or Y. What is the probability of getting an X-bearing sperm? A Y-bearing sperm? How many kinds of ova as to the kind of sex chromosome present can be produce? Determine the probability of getting a boy or girl. Show your calculations.arrow_forwardMost sexual organisms are either male or female though some are hermaphroditic.
