Determine the father's genotype.
The man suffers from haemophilia, which is a sex-linked recessive condition. Since 'h' represents the allele for haemophilia, his genotype is .
Determine the mother's genotype.
The woman is described as normal, but their daughter, Mercy, is haemophiliac. For Mercy to be haemophiliac, her genotype must be . She inherits one from her father () and one from her mother. Since the mother is phenotypically normal but carries the haemophilia allele, her genotype must be (a carrier).
The genotype of the parents are:
- Father:
- Mother:
Part b· 3 steps
Identify the gametes produced by each parent.
Mother (): Gametes are and .
Father (): Gametes are and .Construct a Punnett square to show the genotypes of the offspring.
List the genotypes of the offspring.
The possible genotypes of the offspring are:
- (Carrier female, normal phenotype)
- (Normal male)
- (Haemophiliac female)
- (Haemophiliac male)
Part c
Determine the probability of a son being haemophiliac.
From the Punnett square, the male offspring genotypes are (normal) and (haemophiliac).
There are 2 possible male genotypes, and 1 of them is haemophiliac.
The probability of a son being haemophiliac is .
Probability of son being haemophiliac:Determine the probability of a daughter being haemophiliac.
From the Punnett square, the female offspring genotypes are (carrier, normal phenotype) and (haemophiliac).
There are 2 possible female genotypes, and 1 of them is haemophiliac.
The probability of a daughter being haemophiliac is .
Probability of daughter being haemophiliac:
