Is Haemophilia a sex linked disease?how?..

Answer / mohanraj.m

Yes,The gene for Haemophilia is carried on the X sex
chromosome (females are XX; males are XY). A man with
Haemophilia passes the faulty gene to his daughters who
then carry this gene and may pass the condition onto their
sons. A man with Haemophilia does not pass the faulty gene
onto his sons because they receive a copy of his Y
chromosome (their X chromosome comes from the mother).

Consider two linked autosomal genes. The dominant allele C of the first gene causes cataracts of the eye, whereas its recessive allele produces normal eyes. The dominant allele P causes polydactyly (an extra finger) whereas its allele (p) produces a normal number of fingers. A man with cataracts and normal fingers marries a woman with polydactyly and normal eyes. Their son has both polydactyly and cataracts and he marries a woman with neither trait. What is the probability that their first child will have cataracts and polydactyly?

In sesame, the one-pod condition (P) is dominant to the three-pod condition (p), and normal leaf (L) is dominant over wrinkled leaf (l). The two characters are inherited independently. Determine the genotypes and phenotypes of the two plants which produce the following progeny: 318 one- pod normal, 98 one-pod wrinkled, 323 three-pod normal and 104 three-pod wrinkled.
