Chapter 10, Problem 9WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
“Would the dominant X linked illness to affect women as often as men”.
Concept introduction:
The X linked disorder means that the genes causing the disorder or disease is present on the X chromosomes. The X linked disorder can be dominant or recessive. If the father carries the affected X chromosome, it will pass the affected chromosomes to all daughters not to son. If the mother carries the affected X chromosomes, it will pass the affected chromosomes to all the progeny.

- 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?arrow_forwardAnalysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits In the eighteenth century, a young boy with a skin condition known as ichthyosis hystrix gravior was identified. The phenotype of this disorder includes thickening of skin and the formation of loose spines that are sloughed off periodically. This man married and had six sons, all of whom had the same condition. He also had several daughters, all of whom were unaffected. In all succeeding generations, the condition was passed on from father to son. What can you theorize about the location of the gene that causes ichthyosis hystrix gravior?arrow_forwardRedgreen 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?

Which gender is this, and why are x-linked disorders more likely to affect people of this gender?arrow_forwardCould a woman with the X-linked color-blind trait have a son without colorblindness? Use a Punnett square to explain your answer.arrow_forward
- An individual that is genetically male develops as a female.
