Red-green color blindness is caused by a recessive allele on human X chromosomes. A woman with normal vision has a father who is colorblind. She starts a family with a man who is colorblind, and they have a son who is also colorblind. What is the probability that their second male child would be colorblind? 1/4 1/2 3/4

An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
Does the phenotype indicated by the red circles and squares in this pedigree show an inheritance pattern that is autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked?
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child. What is the probability of having a child without hemophilia? Explain using a Punnett square. Is it possible for a girl to be born with hemophilia? Explain.
Jan and Michael are both carriers for the cystic fibrosis allele. If Jan and Michael have three children with the disease and then Jan becomes pregant with fratnernal twins, what is the probability that both twins will also have the disease?
Sickle cell anemia is a human genetic disorder caused by an autosomal recessive allele. A couple plan to marry and want to know the probability that they will have an affected child. With your knowledge of Mendelian inheritance, what can you tell them if (1) each has one affected parent and a parent with no family history of SCA or (2) the man is affected by the disorder but the woman has no family history of SCA?
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disease, and the gene is located on the X chromosome. A man with hemophilia marries a woman with hemophilia. What is the probability of a son they have been a hemophiliac?
Kelly and Sam are both unaffected carriers for two autosomal recessive disorders, PKU (chromosome 12) and cystic fibrosis (chromosome 7). They are expecting a daughter. What is the probability that she will be unaffected by PKU, but effected by cystic fibrosis? O 1/16 O 3/16 O 1/2 О 3/4 O 9/16
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive gene. A normal woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a man with hemophilia. Draw a punnett square of a cross between these two individuals. What are the chances that this couple will have a daughter with hemophilia?
Red-green colorblindness is a X-linked recessive disorder. Jill has normal vision but her dad was color blind. Tom has normal color vision. Jill and Tom have a daughter with Turner syndrome (XO) and she is color blind? Write out the genotype of the daughter. How did the daughter inherit her color blindness? Which parent did she inherit her single X chromosome from? Which parent had a non-disjunction event during gametogenesis? How do you know?
Hemophilia A, a condition in which blood does not clot properly, is a recessive trait located on the X chromosome (Xh). A woman heterozygous for the trait marries a normal male. What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac daughters? What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac sons?
The autosomal (not X-linked) gene for brachydactyly, short fingers, is dominant to normal finger length. Assume that a female with brachydactyly in the heterozygous condition is married to a man with normal fingers. What is the probability that their first child will be a brachydactylous girl? ¼ 1/2 1/8 3/4 2/3
