Question
Chapter 14, Problem 5SQ
Summary Introduction
To examine: Whether the statement “A son can inherit an X-linked recessive allele from his father” is true or false.
Introduction: Inheritance patterns determine how a trait is passed from parents to their offspring. They are classified as autosomal or X-linked inheritance and their dominance or recessive.

- Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits As a genetic counselor investigating a genetic disorder in a family, you are able to collect a four-generation pedigree that details the inheritance of the disorder in question. Analyze the information in the pedigree to determine whether the trait is inherited as: a. autosomal dominant b. autosomal recessive c. X-linked dominant d. X-linked recessive e. Y-linkedarrow_forwardAnalysis 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_forwardMale-pattern baldness is sex-linked and recessive. A carrier female has a child with a normal male. Give the genotype and phenotype ratios for their offspring.arrow_forward
- Please explain why sex linked recessive traits are inherited by the son from his mother. If a mother is a carrier, what percentage of her sons will have the trait? Please give me example of sex linked recessive trait.arrow_forwardIf a man has an X-linked recessive disease, can his sons inherit that disease from him?

If a father and a son are both hemophiliacs, but the mother is normal, her genotype must be: XhXh XHXh XHXH XhYarrow_forwardAmy Alvarez had a recessive X-linked chromosome for a disorder such as, hemophilia, and said that she wanted to have all boys because they would not show symptoms? Would she be well informed?arrow_forward
- Two parents who do not have color blindness have a daughter who has only one X chromosome and is color-blind (this genotype is written XO since she is missing an X). Color blindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner.arrow_forwardDuchenne muscular dystrophy, which is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, nearly always occurs in males.
