Colorblindness is a sex linked trait in humans. Normal vision is a sex linked dominant trait. A man’s maternal grandmother had normal vision; his maternal grandfather was colorblind; his mother is colorblind; his father has normal vision.
1. What are the genotypes of the two grandparents and parents mentioned?

What type of vision does the man have himself?

What type have his sisters?

If he should marry a woman genotypically like one of his sisters (he is not marrying one of his sisters; calm down), what kind of vision would be expected in the offspring?

1)Red-green color blindness is a sex-linked recessive trait in humans. Two people with normal color vision have a color-blind son. What are the genotypes of the parents? A)XnXn and XnY B)XNXN and XNY C)XNXn and XNY D)XNXN and XnY 2)A poison interferes with the action of RNA polymerase II, but not RNA polymerase I or III. Which of the following is likely to be true of a cell exposed to the poison? A)production of tRNA would be stopped but not...

Bar eye (B) is a dominant and sex-linked trait of Drosophila. Curved wings (cu) and black body (bl) are recessive traits, both found on chromosome 2, separated by 24 map units. A homozygous Bar-eyed, black-bodied female is crossed to a true-breeding male expressing curved wings. The heterozygous F1 female is then crossed to a male expressing all three traits. At what frequency among the F2 would you expect to find a completely wild type male? How often would you find...

a. Red green color blindness is a sex linked recessive trait. If a woman with normal vision whose father is colorblind marries a man with colorblindness. What would be the probability that they have a colorblind child? b. Two parents have ABO blood group genotypes. Which of the following blood types could not belong to one of their children? AB, B, O, A. c. A women who is a carrier for colorblindness marries a normal male. What is the probability...

An X-linked recessive allele, r, produces red-green colorblindness in humans. A normal woman whose father was colorblind marries a colorblind man. a. What is the chance that the first child from this marriage will be a colorblind boy? b. What is the chance that the first child from this marriage will be a colorblind girl? c. If the couple have three children, what is the probability that two of them will be colorblind boys and one will be a normal...

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...

In human beings, the gene for red green colorblindness (r) is sex linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind man whose mother was nonfreckled. a. What is the genotype of the woman's father? b. What is the probability that the couple's first child will be a...

Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Let us assume that a colorblind man has a colorblind sister and his mother has normal vision. What is the genotype, as to color vision, of this man’s mother and of his father? What kind of color vision will his sons and his daughters have, and in what ratios, if he marries a woman identical in genotype to his mother?

How does one recognize sex-linked inheritance? How could one distinguish a sex-linked dominant allele from a sex-linked recessive allele? What is the significance of a recombination frequency of 50%? Is it possible to have a recombination rate significantly greater than 50% (such as 80 or 90%)?

Suppose colourblindness is an X-linked recessive trait, while Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant trait. Assume both traits are rare. A colourblind man decides to have children with a women who is heterozygous for both genes. What is the probability that they will have a child that is colourblind and does not have Huntington's?
