In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a child with normal vision and blue eyes?

The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
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?
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?
In humans, blue eyes are inherited as a recessive autosomal trait and color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait. A woman with blue eyes and normal color vision (her father was colorblind) marries a man who has normal color vision. The man has brown eyes, but his mother had blue eyes. What is the probability that this couple will have a son with brown eyes? What is the probability that this couple will have a color blind son with blue eyes?
In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles. Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. If two parents who are both type A and have normal vision produce a son who is color-blind and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a female who has normal vision and is type O?

Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. Martha has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind and polydactylous. Bill is color blind and polydactylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes. When answering the given question, consider that the answers include the proportions of only some of the possible phenotypes; other phenotypes are also expected to occur but are not included. If Bill and Martha marry, what proportions of children with specific phenotypes would they be expected to produce? 1/8 color-blind girls with normal fingers, 1/4 boys with normal vision and polydactyly 1/4 girls with normal vision and polydactyly, 1/8 boys with normal vision and polydactyly 1/8 color-blind girls with polydactyly, 1/8 boys with normal vision and normal fingers 1/4 color-blind girls with normal fingers,…
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. Martha has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind and polydactylous. Bill is color blind and polydactylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes. If Bill and Martha marry, what proportions of children with specific phenotypes would they be expected to produce? The answers only include the proportions of some of the possible phenotypes; other phenotypes are also expected to occur but are not included. Assume full penetrance for both traits. Select one: a. 1/8 color-blind girls with normal fingers, 1/4 boys with normal vision and polydactyly b. 1/4 color-blind girls with normal fingers, 1/4 boys with normal vision and polydactyly c. 1/8 color-blind girls with normal fingers, 1/8 boys with normal vision and polydactyly d. 1/4 color-blind girls with…
A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color- blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes? а. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% е. 100%
Both red/green color blindness (R=normal, r=colorblind) and Duchenne-type muscular dystrophy (D=normal, d=muscular dystrophy) are X-linked recessive traits that map close to each other. A woman has a father who is red/green color blind. Her mother's family has a history of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. This woman is apparently healthy with neither color blindness nor muscular dystrophy. She marries a healthy man and they have four sons and two daughters. Half the sons are healthy but color blind, the other half have normal color vision, but have Duchenne's muscular dystrophy. The daughters are both normal. What is the genotype of the woman? ** The notation is written as X/X (so the / separates the two X chromosomes in a female) Group of answer choices RD/rd rd/rd Rd/rD RD/RD
Red–green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. Martha has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind and polydactylous. Bill is color blind and polydactylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes. If Bill and Martha marry, what phenotypes and proportions of children can they produce?
A man who is a dwarf due to achondroplasia and has normal vision marries a color-blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplasia is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their children? What are the ratios for each?
