Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation.  Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h .  Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa.

young couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and homozygous dominant for Tay-Sachs. The female is homozygous recessive for Huntington’s disease and heterozygous for Tay-Sachs. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting Tay-Sachs and/or Huntington’s. For humans, Huntington’s disease is dominant (H) over the “normal” condition (h), and the “normal” condition is dominant (T) over Tay-Sachs (t). Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the percent probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
