a.
Summary Introduction
To explain: The chances that a color-blind male and carrier female would produce a color-blind son.
Introduction: There are two types of genetic diseases: autosomal diseases and sex-linked diseases. The sex-linked diseases are inherited on the basis of defected or mutant protein on X or Y chromosome.

- Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits The following is a pedigree for a common genetic trait. Analyze 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_forwardWavy hair is incomplete dominance of curly hair. If a wavy-haired woman has children with a straight-haired man, what are the possible genotypes and phenotypes? Be sure to use the correct shorthand that shows neither gene is recessive.arrow_forwardAttached earlobes is recessive while “Free” earlobes is dominant.

Codominance and complete dominance establish the same pattern of inheritance.arrow_forwardWorking with the definitions of penetrance and expressivity, analyze the following pedigree and assume that the father of the proband is homozygous for a rare trait. (Consider a rare trait here to be less than 1 in 30,000.) What pattern of inheritance other than autosomal recessive could explain this pedigree? In particular, explain the genotype and phenotype of the proband (arrow).arrow_forward
