Hemophilia A is caused by a recessive X-linked allele that encodes a defective form of a clotting protein. If a affected father and a mother who is known to not be a carrier have children, what percentage of female offspring will have hemophilia?
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Two normal parents have a child with cyatic fibrosis. Would this be an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive disorder? What is the chance that their next child will have cystic fibrosis?

- Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Mary is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Paul whose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibits sickle cell anemia. What are the genotypes of Jane and Paul? If they plan to have four children, what is the probability that: all their children will be normal? _________________________________ they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? _________________________ they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions?________________arrow_forwardSickle-cell disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder.
