Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is a sex-linked disease which is caused by the recessive allele. Suppose, a man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous dominant for the trait. Predict the genotype of the man. (XH = normal; Xh= hemophiliac) *
a. XH Y
b. XHXh
c. XhXh
d. Xh Y
In order for a male to inherit a sex-linked (X-linked) disorder, he must receive the allele from: a. his mother only. b. either his mother or father. c. his father only. d. both his mother and father.
Skin color is a trait that is determined by a. strict dominant-recessive inheritance. b. incomplete dominant inheritance. c. codominant inheritance. d. polygenic inheritance.
