A normal woman whose father was a hemophiliac marries a
normal man. What are the chances of hemophilia occurring in
their children?
Answer Posted / 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

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?

The ABO blood system has been employed to settle cases of disputed paternity. Suppose, as an expert in genetics, you are called to testify in a case where the mother is type A, the child is type O and the alleged father is type B. How would you respond to the following statements of the attornies: a. "Since the mother has type A, the type O of the child must have come from the father and since my client is type B, he obviously could not have fatered the child." Made by the attorney of the alleged father. b. "Further tests revealed that this man is heterozygous and therefore he must be the father." Made by the mother's attorney.
