Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason why all the children born with SCID are boys.
Introduction: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare disorder that results in affecting the development and function of immune cells due to mutation in different genes. Infants affected by SCID appear normal; initially, but later they become prone to several infections.

Colorblindness is an X-linked trait found in humans. What are the chances that a colorblind man will pass it on to his son? Please explain.
If a woman is a carrier of a certain x linked disease and one of her X chromosomes is turned off in each cell how is it she doesn't have the disease?
Hemophilia is another example of an X-linked disease caused when a recessive allele (Xh) is expressed. If a normal male reproduces with a heterozygous normal female, what are the expected genotypes and phenotypes? Will any of their daughters develop hemophilia?

- . In humans, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive gene and will only be expressed in females if they are homozygous for this gene. However, in some rare cases, a heterozygote becomes hemophilic. Explain how this incident happens and why will there be skewed X-inactivation?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.
