In sex-linked inheritance, if a colour blind man
mates with a heterozygous woman, what is the
expected ratio of phenotypes among the offsprings?
normal female : heterozygous female : normal
male : colour-blind male (1 : 1 :1: 1)
normal female : normal male : colour-blind
male (2 :1: 1)
normal female : heterozygous female : normal
male (1:1:2)
heterozygous female: colour blind female:
normal male: colour-blind male (1: 1: 1: 1)
How can genetic heterogeneity affect inheritance patterns?
Explain in your own words why the terms "dominant" and "recessive" in terms of genetic
inheritance are context dependant. Typically, the terms dominant and recessive refer to the
phenotype and not to alleles. In your answer, also explain why this is the case.
If all cells carry the same DNA information, how is it that different cells may carry out
different functions or that particular traits be expressed at different times of an organism's
lifetime?

- Sex-linked inheritance involves the genes on the sex chromosomes. Because inheritance patterns differ between females and males, crosses involving sex-linked inheritance use X’s and Y’s and the results of the crosses are given in percentage of female and male offspring with the affected traits, not in ratios. In humans, the sex chromosomes are X and Y. Females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have one X and one Y (XY). In males, whatever alleles are on the X chromosome are expressed, whether they are dominant or recessive. In females, if the trait is recessive she is called a carrier and does not express the trait (in other words the dominant, normal trait is expressed). In order for her to express the recessive trait, she must be homozygous recessive (X+X+). If the trait is dominant, she will express the trait. Therefore, a female denoted as X+X-is either a carrier (the most common scenario) or expresses the allele if thetrait is dominant. Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive…arrow_forwardDetermine the mode of inheritance: Homozygous recessive die from fatal disorder, when a specific enzyme activity is absent. Heterozygous exhibit wild type phenotype but have intermediate level of gene expression resulting in 1/2 of the wild type enzyme activity when compared to Homozygous normal non-carriers. Based on the levels of gene expression ALONE, the mode of inheritance is?‐---------------arrow_forwardWhat is chromosomal theory of inheritance? List the ways in which genes and chromosomes behave similarly during meiosis and fertilization. How is sex determined in humans? Which sex determines the sex of the offspring? What are the two types of mutations? What are the four types of changes in chromosomal structure? Why would you expect a monosomy to be more lethal than a trisomy?arrow_forward

The grandfather and son have thick beards, but the mother has no significant facial hair. What type of non-Mendelian inheritance is this?
