I've attempted this one but I am having trouble still. I read the section in my book, the wikipedia article, and more but would like to double check my work here.
Sex-linked traits: traits transmitted on the X or Y chrom. Most sex-linked traits are found on the X chrom. A female, with two X chroms will carry a pair of alleles, while a male, with only one X chrom, carries a single allele. make sure to show XX for emale and XY for male. Then give another lable for the trait you are examining. Example X^R X^r.
Hemophilia is inherited as an X-linked recessive. A male who is hemophiliac marries a female who is not afflicted (homozygous).
a. What is the probability their 1st child will be a hemophiliac?
b. What is the probability that they will have a son who is a hemophiliac?
Ok...this is what I have so far:
X^R X^R(mother) x X^r Y (father)
.............X^r............. Y
X^R.....X^R X^r....X^R Y
X^R.....X^R X^r....X^R Y
So far so good? Now I just need to do the probabilities, yes?
Sex-linked Traits (punnett square)?
Yes, so far so good.
On with the probabilities!
a. 0%
b. 0%
Reply:Looks good to me
a. Zero chance
b. Zero chance
