Hemophilia and colorblindness are both X-linked, recessive traits. A hemophiliac woman marries a colorblind man. Assume that bot
h are otherwise normal. If meiosis occurs normally for both parents, what phenotypes are possible among their offspring?
1 answer:
Answer:
Normal daughters and Hemophiliac son
Explanation:
Females exhibit hemophilia and colorblindness in homozygous genotype only.
The genotype of hemophiliac woman= X^hX^h
The genotype of colorblind man= X^cY
A cross between X^hX^h and X^cY would produce progeny in the following phenotype ratio= 1 Normal but carrier daughters:1 Hemophiliac son
