Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. A hemophilic man, whose father was normal, marries a woman whose father had hemophilia and whose mother was heterozygous for hemophilia. What are the chances that their son will have hemophilia? A daughter will have hemophilia? (Since there are two possibilities for the mother, you must use the data from two Punnett Squares to answer these questions.)

Mr. X has been accused by Miss Z of fathering her child. The child's blood type is AB and Miss Z's blood type is A. Mr. X could be the father if he has what blood type(s)? Mr. X could NOT be the father if he has what blood types?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans) in case when mother is heterozygous normal than probability of daughter Being haemophilic is 50% or1/2

In case when mother is haemophilic then probability of daughter being haaemophilic is 100% or 1.

Explaination:

Ansb)

If Mr X is the father of child with AB blood group Then mr X will either have AB blood gp so when he mated with A blood gp female IB allele contributed From mr X and IA alllele from mother so progeny will be AB. Or mr X have B blood gp so he contribute IB allele and female contributeIA blood gp and child with IAIB genotype produced.

If mr X is not the father of child with AB blood gp then mr X blood gp must be either O type or A type.

If a phenotypically normal woman whose father suffered from hemophilia marries a normal man, what is the probability of hemophilia occurring in the children produced by this marriage? (Show the cross and give the genetic ratios by sex.) In the next case, assume that the same woman had a husband with a genotypically homozygous normal mother but whose father also had hemophilia. What will then be the chance of hemophilia in the children? Give genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the...
