A woman with color-normal vision, but whose father was color blind, marries a man with normal vision. They are expecting a child

. They learn through genetic testing that their child will not be color blind. What is the probability that their child is a boy?

To know what happens here, you need to analyze the alleles.

If the father is color blind and the daughter is not, you can suppose that is a recessive allele.

You can tell she is a carrier only, and because we received one sexual allele from each parent. If they ask you about the gender, we can suppose a cross between Xx and XY being lower x the recessive allele (color-blind vision).

When you draw the Punnett square, you'll found the probabilities are XX, XY, Xx, and xY.

So, you have a 50% chance of having a boy and 25% chance of having a color-blind boy.

Answer:

The correct answer is - by absorbing too much sodium and water into the cells in the respiratory system.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis or CF is a genetic disorder that is caused by the presence of two defective genes that leads to the production of thick and sticky mucus in an individual that affects the respiratory and digestive system by clogging mucus in it.

Due to defective genes, there is an abnormal electrolyte transport system develops in which cells of the respiratory system including the lungs absorb an excessive amount of salt (sodium) and water. It all caused by deletion of the three letters which means an amino acid from a gene that leads to the disruption of the protein that controls the production of the mucus and abnormal electrolyte transport.

1. A man with hemophilia (a recessive, sex-linked condition) has a daughter without
garik1379 [7]

A man with hemophilia (a sex-linked recessive condition) has a daughter without hemophilia, the probability of their children having hemophilia is 50%, out of 4 children probably 2 will have hemophilia and 2 will not have hemophilia.

<h3>What is recessive and dominant?</h3>

The dominant term is related to the genetic transmission of a trait and is represented, in biology, by a capital letter (A, B or V). While recessive, represented by a lowercase letter (a, b or v), they represent genetic traits transmitted only in the absence of the dominant gene.

With this information, we can conclude that Recessive genes produce proteins considered “defective” as they become inactive. That is, they are hidden (recessive) with the presence of a dominant gene manifesting their characteristics in the absence of their dominant allele.
