<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Sex ratio of the children can be predicted by making observations using Mendelian crossing methods. The genotype of parents are  XX_(b ) and  XY and the children are XX,XY,XX_(b ),X_(b ) Y. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Given that the gene b is sex linked recessive and lethal. Being sex linked it will be associated with the X chromosome of affected or carrier individuals.  </em>A man and woman who is heterozygous for this gene have children.  

Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Thus one affected X chromosome doesn’t make a female an affected individual. She will be a carrier. If there only one X chromosome of the male is affected he will be an affected individual.  

The genotype of the woman is   and the genotype of the man is XY.  

<em>The cross can be represented as  </em>

<em>XX \ (b ) \times XY </em>

<em>XX   X_(b ) Y  XX_(b )   X_(b ) Y </em>

Among the progenies the chance of the child being a female is ½ and being a male is also ½ among the two females one will be the carrier and the other is free of the lethal gene b.

<em>Among the two males, one male will be affected by inheriting X_(b )chromosome from the mother and the other will not be affected.  </em>
