So remember that Hemophilia is <u>a recessive, x linked trait.</u>
For a woman to have hemophilia, she must have the trait linked to both x chromosomes. For a man to have hemophilia, he must have the trait linked to his singular x chromosome.
For this, I will be making a Punnett Square to determine the Possibilities:
Since there is a 1/2 chance for their offspring to be a boy, and of that 1/2 both would be hemophiliacs, <u>there is a 1/2 chance for the child to be a hemophiliac male.</u>
<h3>B.</h3>As previously mentioned, for a woman to have hemophilia, they would need to have that trait attached to both x chromosomes. Since there is a 1/2 chance for their offspring to be a girl, and of that 1/2 both would be hemophiliacs (since they both carry the trait on both chromosomes), <u>there is a 1/2 chance that they will have a hemophiliac female.</u>
<h3>C.</h3><u>So a carrier is someone who carries a recessive trait, but it isn't displayed due to the dominant trait masking it. With x-linked traits, only women can be carriers since they carry more than one x chromosome.</u> What this asks is the probability of an offspring having the trait attached to only 1 of the x chromosomes. Looking at the girls, since both carry the traits on both x chromosomes, <u>there is 0 chance of a carrier.</u>
<h3>D.</h3>So symptom free is as it seems, without the hemophilia trait. Looking at the table, since all the offspring contain the hemophilia trait, <u>there is 0 chance that any of their offspring will go symptom free.</u>
