Answer:

Human males much more likely than human females to inherit the recessive condition hemophilia because it follows X-linked recessive pattern.

Explanation:

Actually hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder i-e the defective genes are located on the X chromosome (sex chromosome) and are transmitted through it. As males have only one X chromosome (inherited from mother), one altered copy of the gene in every cell cause this disease.On the other hand females have 2 X chromosomes thus this disease is rare in females.

Hemophilia is Xlinked recessive trait .Consider a cross between a women who is carrier and man who suffers from hemophilia,Which
lozanna [386]

Answer:

II and III

Explanation:

<em>I. All sons of these parents will be a hemophiliac. </em>

<em> II. A son who suffers from hemophilia received the hemophilia allele from his mother. </em>

<em> III. Half of the daughters of this cross are predicted to be hemophiliacs.</em>

Assuming the haemophilia allele is represented by h, the alternate form being H.

A woman that is a carrier will have the genotype X^H X^h.

A man who suffers from haemophilia will have the genotype X^h Y

Crossing both of them:

X^H X^h   x   X^h Y  =  X^H X^h, X^H Y, X^hX^h and X^hY

From the result of the cross, the following can be deduced:

  • Half or 50% of the sons from the couple will be haemophiliacs.
  • Any son that suffers from haemophilia received the allele from the mother.
  • Half or 50% of the daughters from this cross will be hemophiliacs.

Hence, statements II and III are true.
