Summary Introduction

To summarize:

Three possible genotypes and their corresponding phenotypes.

Introduction:

There are two alleles for each trait. These alleles may be dominant or recessive depending on whether they are expressed or hidden in the trait. Dominant allele is designated by an upper case letter while recessive allele is designated by a lower case letter. For each trait we inherit one allele from each parent.

Classical hemophilia is a sex-linked disease caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. (Hemophilia refers to diseases that cause delays in blood clotting.) If a woman who is acarrierof classical hemophilia has children with a normal male, give the ratios of the possible offspring with respect to classical hemophilia. Be sure to state both the genotypes and the phenotypes of each offspring. For genotypes, use X for a normal X chromosome, Xh for an X chromosome with the hemophilia gene, and Y for a normal Y chromosome. For phenotypes, if the offspring is female, be sure to state if homozygous normal, a carrier, or has the disease. If the offspring is a male, be sure to state if normal or has the disease.
Define Genotype and Phenotype and describe how are they related.
Define the terms genotype and phenotype, and relate them to one another.
