Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 24PDQ
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?
In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a child with normal vision and blue eyes?
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?

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.
