4. A condition called Alport syndrome is caused by a dominant X linked allele. Males who have this condition usually have kidney failure, while females who are heterozygous for the condition have blood in the urine, but usually do not have kidney failure. A male has this condition and has children with an unaffected female. What percent of his daughters will show any of the symptoms? What percent of his sons will show any of the symptoms?

In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
1. Hair or fur length in cats is controlled by a single, autosomal gene; the short hair-allele is dominant to the allele for long hair. Hair color is produced by a different gene which is located on the X chromosome. One allele for this sex-linked gene produces yellow, while an alternate allele produces black fur color; individualswhich are heterozygous for these alleles are calico or tortiseshell in color.If a long-haired, black male is mated with a calico female homozygous for short hair what kind of kittens will be produced in the Ej generation? Give both genotypes and phenotypes; express the genotypes bothsymbolically and in words. Label answers clearly!!
3. Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant condition in humans. The disease is often not diagnosed until adulthood, sometimes after the person has had children (and possibly passed the Huntington's allele to their children). People with Huntington's disease are usually heterozygous and not homozygous dominant. Assume that a person with Huntington's disease has a child with a person who does not have Huntington's disease. What is the probability that the child will have Huntington's disease? Support your answer with a Punnett square (on next page). 1
