A heterozygous null (X*/XA) is most likely to have what type of phenotype: mutant O wild-type
A gene that controls the ability to see red and green is located on the X chromosome but not on the Y chromosome. There is a recessive nonfunctional allele for this gene that can cause red-green color blindness if the person possessing it does not also have the dominant normal gene. Consider the case of a carrier mother who is heterozygous for the red-green vision gene and a father who has normal vision. Use XB = normal vision, Xb = color-blind vision. What is the chance the parents would have a color-blind boy? A color-blind girl? What about a girl or boy with normal vision? Redo the Punnett square for a carrier mother (XBXb) and a color-blind father (XbY). Do the chances of having color-blind children change? How?
A phenotypically normal individual has the following combinations of normal and abnormal chromosomes:The normal chromosomes are shown on the left in each pair.Suggest a series of events (breaks, translocations, crossovers, etc.)that may have produced this combination of chromosomes.
Mendel's Law of Independent Assortment states that: the members of a pair of homologous chromosemes assort independently of each other during gamete formation none of these the members of a pair of homologous chromosomes separate from each other during gamete formati different pairs of homologous chromosomes assort independently of each other during gamete formation different pairs of homologous chromosomes separate from each other during gamete formation
In Drosophila, the white gene located on the X chromosome affects eye color; an autosomal gene, wingless, is on an autosomal chromosome. Use the following allele symbols: Xw+ _ , Xw+Y = wild type red eyes; X-linked dominant allele Xw Xw , XwY = white eyes; X-linked recessive allele Y = Y sex chromosome vg+ = wild type wings; autosomal dominant vg = wingless; autosomal recessive Predict ratios/proportions of genotypes and phenotypes of offspring from the following cross, of a white-eyed male with wild type wings and a wild type red eyed female with wild type wings: indicate sex of offspring along with phenotypes. XwY vg+ vg x Xw+Xw vg+vg

Two people are planning to have children together. Each person is heterozygous for the gene “G”. Using this letter, first list all the possible gametes that the two people can produce. Next, write all the possible genotypes and phenotypes for their offspring, using the correct genetic terminology (e.g., “genotype is homozygous dominant” “phenotype is dominant”). HINT: Use the gametes to construct a Punnett square and predict the possible offspring (you do not need to include the Punnett square in your answer

an unaffected woman who is heterozygous for the x linked allele causing duchenne muscular dystrophy has children with a normal man. What is the probability that their first child is an unaffected daughter and their second child is an affected son?
Men have XY (or YX) chromosomes and women have XX chromosomes. X-linked recessive genetic diseases (such as juvenile retinoschisis) occur when there is a defective X chromosome that occurs without a paired X chromosome that is not defective. Represent a defective X chromosome with lowercase x, so a child with the xY or Yx pair of chromosomes will have the disease and a child with XX or XY or YX or xX or Xx will not have the disease. Each parent contributes one of the chromosomes to the child. Complete parts a through d below. a. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a son will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. If a father has the defective x chromosome and the mother has good XX chromosomes, what is the probability that a daughter will inherit the disease? nothing (Type an integer or a decimal.
