A son is born with Kleinfelter's syndrome and hemophilia. His father was normal and his mother was a carrier for the recessive X-linked blood clotting disorder. What occurred in meiosis to produce this genetic outcome? a. Nondisjunction in meiosis I of the mother b. Nondisjunction in meiosis II of the father c. Nondisjunction in either meiosis I or meiosis II of the father d. Nondisjunction in meiosis II of the mother e. Nondisjunction in meiosis I of the father

a.a mother and father produce a son with hemophilia even though neither have the disease themselves. If this son has children with a woman who is carrier of the disease, what is the chance of having a son who has the disease and what is the chance of having a daughter with the disease? Briefly explain your answer. b. a father with a sister who has Tay Sachs has a son and daughter with a woman who also has a...

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)

mother wants to ensure the education of his son. On the 7th birthday of the son, he invest in a fund the amount of P 20000000 earning at 6.5% interest rate compounded monthly; on the 10th birthday another P 20000000 at an interest rate of 7.3% compounded monthly: on the 15th birthday another sum of money at 8% compounded monthly. If on the 18th birthday the son have a total withdrawable amount of P1.3M, how much is the 3rd investment?...

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...

A boy with Klinefelter syndrome (47 chromosomes, XXY) is born to a mother who is phenotypically normal and a father who has the X-linked skin condition called anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (AED). The mother's skin is completely normal with no signs of the skin abnormality. By contrast, her son has patches of normal skin and patches of abnormal skin. a) What are the genotypes of the mother and the father? (b) What is the genotype of the son? (c) Which parent...

2. Two normal parents have a son that is a carrier for hemophilia (an X-linked recessive disorder) and has Kleinfelter Syndrome. a. Write out the cross as described above illustrating the genotypes and phenotypes of the parents and child. b. Did the non-disjunction event occur in 1) mother, 2) father, or 3) could have occurred in either of the two parents? c. Did the nondisjunction event occur in 1) Meiosis I, 2) Meiosis II, or 3) could have occurred in...

A father racing his son has 1/ 4 the kinetic energy of the son, who has 1/ 3 the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 1.4 m/s and then has the same kinetic energy as the son. What are the original speeds of (a) the father and (b) the son?

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...

A father racing his son has half the kinetic energy of the son, who has two-fifths the mass of the father. The father speeds up by 3.0 m/s and then has the same kinetic energy as the son. (a) What is the original speed of the father? m/s (b) What is the original speed of the son? m/s
