Hemophilia is a disease caused by a recessive allele on the X chromosome. Use a Punnett square to help describe the offspring phenotypes from the cross: heterozygous female crossed to male with hemophilia.

Expert Solution

Hemophilia: It is a rare disorder in which there is a lack of sufficient blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors) which affect the clotting of blood, abnormal clotting of blood. Hemophilia A and hemophilia B are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. The gene responsible is present on the X chromosome. If the male have affected mother then there re 100% chance of having he disorder.

Let the allele for the hemophilia disorder is H.

It is a recessive disorder so express only when present on both the chromosomes.

Let,

XX - Female
XY - Male
X^HX^H - Affected Female
X^HX - Carrier Female
X^HY - Affected male

According to the question the cross between heterozygous female crossed to male with hemophilia.

Heterozygous female - X^HX
male with hemophilia - X^HY

Cross: X^HX * X^HY

The gametes produce from X^HX female are X^H and X.
The gametes produce from X^HY female are X^H and Y.

Punnett square for the cross:

Gametes	X^H	X
X^H	X^HX^H	X^HX
Y	X^HY	XY

Thus, 50% of the offspring has chance of getting the disorder.

25 % chance of not having the disorder.
25 % chance of being unaffected.
50% chance of affected female
50% chance of affected son.

X^HX^{H -} Affected daughter

X^HX - Carrier daughter

X^HY - Affected son

XY - Unaffected son

Cystic fibrosis is caused by a recessive allele. (Use "N" to stand for the normal, non-disease allele). If parents that are both heterozygous for cystic fibrosis have a child, what is the percent chance that the child will have the disease?

Cystic fibrosis is a rare disease caused by homozygosity for a recessive allele, and characterized by a build-up of mucus in the lungs and difficulty breathing. A woman whose maternal uncle had the disease is trying to determine the probability she and her husband could have an affected child. Her husband's sister died of the disease. Assuming the uncle and the sister are the only family members who had the disease, what is the chance that the couple's first child...

A recessive allele on the X chromosome is responsible for red-green color blindness in humans. A woman with normal vision whose father is red-green color blind marries a male with normal vision. Which of the following best predicts the phenotypes of their children? A. All of the children will have normal vision. B. All of the daughters will have normal vision, and half of the sons will be red-green color blind. C. All of the daughters will have normal vision,...

In human’s classical hemophilia is inherited as X-linked recessive disease. Albinism (lack of pigmentation) is inherited as autosomal recessive disorder. A son with both anomalies was born to healthy parents. Which is probability that the second son in this family also will have both these disorders at the same time?

1. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a relatively rare X-linked recessive allele. It causes progressive muscular wasting, and usually leads to death before age 20. What is the probability that the first son of a woman (who does not have the disease but whose father is affected) will be affected? 2. Hemophilia in humans is inherited as an X linked recessive trait. A woman whose father is hemophiliac marries a man with normal clotting ability. What is the...

A woman is heterozygous for X-linked disease (Hemophilia A). If she marries a man without hemophilia, is there a chance that her daughters will suffer from the disease?(choose the best option) a.only daughters can suffer from the disease b.both daughters and sons can suffer from the disease c.none of the children will suffer from the disease d.only children can suffer from the disease

2. Black bodies and vestigial wings in Drosophila are caused by recessive alleles on chromosome 2. A long-winged male with yellow-brown body color, homozygous for the wild-type alleles, b+b+ v+v+, was exposed to X-rays to induce mutations in germ-line cells (i.e. to generate mutations in the gametes the male produced). He was then mated to a homozygous recessive black-bodied, vestigial-winged female, bb vv. Among the offspring, a male with a black body and vestigial wings was observed. a. What are...

A child is born with hemophilia (inherited as an X-linked recessive) and Klinefelter's syndrome to parents who both have normal blood clotting. In which parent (mother or father) and during which round of meiosis (I or II) did the nondisjunction event occur? * note that Klinefelter syndrome is 47 chromosomes, so 2n+1 (47,XXY)

If a man has the premutation allele (on the X chromosome) for Fragile X syndrome, what is the probability that he will pass it on to his son?

Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive condition. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a man who is not a carrier. a) What is the chance of their daughters having hemophilia? b) What is the chance of their daughters being carriers for the hemophilia allele?
