Hemophilia is called "the royal disease" because many European royal families had members with the condition. Hemophilia is a recessive, X-linked disorder. Queen Victoria was unaffected by hemophilia, but was a carrier of the hemophilia gene (X*X). Suppose Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, was affected with hemophilia (X Y). What is the percent probability that a son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would be unaffected by hemophilia? probability of unaffected son: What is the percent probability that a daughter or son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would be affected by hemophilia? probability of affected child: What is the percent probability Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would have two affected females? probability of two affected females: % % %

Could an individual with blood type O (genotype ii) be a legitimate child of parents in which one parent had blood type A and the other parent had blood type B?
Two forms of hemophilia are determined by genes on the X chromosome in humans. Assume that a phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia is married to a normal man. What is their probability to have a son with hemophilia? (out of all children - not just the sons)
Hemophilia A, a condition in which blood does not clot properly, is a recessive trait located on the X chromosome (Xh). A woman heterozygous for the trait marries a normal male. What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac daughters? What is the probability that this couple will have hemophiliac sons?
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a man who suffers with hemophilia. What is the probability that their first daughter will have hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a blood disorder which is sex-linked. A woman carrier has children with a normal man. Determine the chances for girls and boys with hemophilia. [Remember that females have the XX genotype and males have the XY genotype. Do not place an allele on the Y chromosome. Example: XN Xn for female; Xn Y for male]
Hemophilia is an X-linked disorder that affects the body’s ability to create blood clots. The allele for normal blood clotting, XH, is dominant over the allele for hemophilia, Xh. An unaffected daughter from the above cross married a man who does not have hemophilia. Determine the probability of their offspring being A daughter with hemophilia A daughter without hemophilia A son with hemophilia A son without hemophilia Express your answer as a phenotypic ratio. Number: Answer Answer Answer Answer Phenotype: Affected female Unaffected female Affected male Unaffected male
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.
In humans, hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. Females can be normal, carriers, or have the disease. Males will either have the disease or not (but they won’t ever be carriers). X H X H = female, non-hemophilic X H X h = female, carrier X h X h = female, hemophilia X H Y = male, non-hemophilic X h Y= male, hemophiliac a.) Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier. What is the probability that their children will have the disease? b.) A woman who is a carrier marries a non-hemophilic man. Show the cross. What is the probability that their children will have hemophilia? What sex will a child in the family with hemophilia be? c.) A woman who has hemophilia marries a non-hemophilic man. How many of their children will have hemophilia, and what is their sex?
Hemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%
A couple are both phenotypically normal but their son suffers from hemophilla, a sex linked recessive disorder. What fraction of their children are likely to suffer from hemophilia. what fraction are likely to be carriers.
Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait. If you have a man with hemophilia (Genotype XhY) and a female carrier (Genotype XhXh). How many of the offspring would be affected?
Julie (a female) has hemophilia. Based on this information, what can we say about the genotypes of her parents? If Julie has children with a normal male, what is the chance that her sons have hemophilia? What is the chance that her daughters have hemophilia? 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?
