Answer / baba_mailme
A hemophilic father will always have daughter with carrier
of that gene if he marries a normal woman.When the daughter
(carrier of the gene) marries a normal man, the chances
their children will be hemophiliac is 50%. 1 daughter will
be normal and other will be the carrier of the gene, though
phenotypically both will be alike. and 1 son will be
hemophiliac and other will be normal

Answer / beverly
The woman in this case is a carrier of the hemophilia
disease and this disease is an X linked recessive
disease.Therefore it is transferred from grandfather to
grandson.Both parents of the children are not affect so that
is the only possibility.

Can Genetically Engineered food benefit the world?
who was the father of genetic engineering
A blastomere was removed from an 8-cell human embryo, and its beta-globin gene was amplified by PCR. The beta-globin DNA was treated with an enzyme that cuts on either side of and within the normal allele (producing a small fragment), but not within the sickle cell allele (producing a large fragment). Electrophoresis of the treated DNA from the blastomere demonstrated the presence of both a large and small fragment derived from the beta-globin genes. How should you interpret this test?

The village of Oblong has 400 normally-shaped residents. Transferrin is an iron carrier found in blood, and electrophoretic variation of this protein is determined by an autosomal codominant system. The citizens of Oblong were typed for their transferrin complements. The distribution of transferrin phenotypes was: 100 CC, 100 CD, and 200 DD. What is the frequency of the C allele?
