Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is referred to as a sex-linked disease. The recessive allele causes the disease. A man with hemophilia (xhy) marries a woman who is homozygous dominant (XHXH. A. Illustrate using a Punnett square the probability that their children will have the disease. B. Will any of their children have the disease? C. Predict the probabilities of their children having the disease.
Technology that can separate X-bearing and Y-bearing sperm offers prospective parents the opportunity to choose the sex of their child. First, the sperm are dosed with a DNA-staining chemical. Because the X chromosome has slightly more DNA than the Y chromosome, it takes up more dye. When a laser beam shines on the sperm, the X-bearing sperm shine more brightly than the Y-bearing sperm.a. How might this technology be beneficial for couples that have a history of X-linked genetic disorders?b. How might this technology be misused?

True or False: When an individual generates gametes via meiosis the gametes either receive all of their maternal alleles or all of their paternal alleles? b) Explain your answer.
The picture below represents a G1 cell from a newly discovered species that uses the X/Y sex determination system. Alleles for the different autosomal genes of interest are indicated on the chromosomes, and genes R and T are 16 cM apart. Red lines show maternal chromosomes, and blue lines show paternal chromosomes. Answer the following questions about this individual.d) Provide the genotype of the fertilizing male gamete that produced this individual. e) This individual can produce a pool of different gametes. List any TWO potential gametes that will occur at different frequencies. Give the alleles of each gamete contained within a set of brackets, and indicate the expected frequency (up to two decimals) at which that gamete would occur.
