A dominant allele, XE, carried on the X chromosome causes the formation of faulty tooth enamel, resulting in either very thin or very hard enamel. A woman heterozygous for faulty tooth enamel marries a man with normal tooth enamel. What is the probability that their first child will be a boy with normal tooth enamel?

Identical twins are produced from the same sperm and egg (whichsplits after the first mitotic division), whereas fraternal twins areproduced from separate sperm and separate egg cells. If two parentswith brown eyes (a dominant trait) produce one twin boy with blueeyes, what are the following probabilities?A. If the other twin is identical, he will have blue eyes.B. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will have blue eyes.C. If the other twin is fraternal, he or she will transmit the blueeye allele to his or her offspring.D. The parents are both heterozygotes.
an unaffected woman who is heterozygous for the x linked allele causing duchenne muscular dystrophy has children with a normal man. What is the probability that their first child is an unaffected daughter and their second child is an affected son?
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
A man with hemophilia (a recessive, sex-linkedcondition) has a daughter without the condition.She marries a man who does not have hemophilia.What is the probability that their daughter willhave hemophilia? Their son? If they have foursons, what is the probability that all will be affected?
A woman with keratosis, a skin condition caused by a rare dominant allele, marries a man with normal skin. If they have a son, what is the probability that he will have normal skin?
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
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?
A WOMAN IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TWO HARMFUL RECESSIVE ALLELES IN DIFFERENT CHROMOSOMES, ONE FOR PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU) AND THE OTHER FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF). SHE MARRIES AN UNAFFECTED MAN WHO IS A CARRIER FOR NEITHER DISEASE. IF SHE HAS A DAUGHTER, WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT THE CHILD WILL CARRY NEITHER OF THE RECESSIVE ALLELES? EXACTLY ONE? BOTH?
A color-blind man marries a woman with normal vision whose father was color-blind. Remember that color-blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Hint: see figure 12.7 in book. A) What is the probability that their first child will be a color-blind daughter? B) What is the probability that their first son will be color-blind?
If the proband (III-2) marries a carrier woman, what is the probability that they will have an affected son? affected daughter?
A woman homozygous for normal height, with freckles, almond-shaped eyes, small nose, and Type A blood, has a Type O mother with no freckles and a type AB father with round eyes. She is engaged to a man with achondroplasia, round eyes and medium sized nose. Unlike his father, hismother is of normal height. Both his parents have Type O blood but nobody from both sides of his family has or had freckles. a. Write the COMPLETE genotypes of the man and the woman. Clearly indicate which genotype belongs to whom. b. Based on their genotypes, what is the probability that they will have: b.1 a child with Achondroplasia? b.2 a child of normal height? b.3 a child with type AB blood? b.4 a daughter with round eyes, freckles, and medium sized nose? b.5 a son with almond eyes, no freckles, and small nose?b.6 a daughter with same genotype as the woman? b.7 a son with same genotype as the man?
