- Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child? Show ALL work using punnett squares.What is the relationship between individual I-1 and individual III-2?

- 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.Marly is doing a paternity test to determine who could be her father. She is going just off of word of mouth for now so there is no way for her to figure out the genotypes of ther potential fathers. She knows for certain that she is type A with the genotype (A^I A^i). Her potential fathers are Gayle who is a Type O, Jake who is type A,and Mark who is Type AB. Who could be the potential father?A person has the genotype AabbCCDdEEFfGgHH for 8 genes.
