b) Step 1: Identify offspring number 1 in the pedigree. Offspring number 1 is a male, represented by a square. The square is not shaded, indicating he is a normal male. Step 2: Determine the genotypes of his parents. His mother is represented by a circle with a diagonal line, indicating she is a normal carrier female (X^H X^h). His father is represented by an unshaded square, indicating he is a normal male (X^H Y). Step 3: Determine the genotype of offspring number 1. Since offspring 1 is a normal male, he must have inherited the Y chromosome from his father and a normal X^H chromosome from his mother. Therefore, his genotype is X^H Y. The genotype of offspring number 1 is X^H Y. d) One defect of non-disjunction chromosomal mutation is Down syndrome. This condition is caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 (Trisomy 21), which results from non-disjunction during meiosis. Name one defect of non-disjunction chromosomal mutation: Down syndrome. That's 2 down. 3 left today — send the next one.
