Chapter 29, Problem 9CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The possibilities of the husband to be the father of the woman’s son in the given question.
Introduction:
Dominance is the phenomenon in which one trait expresses itself over the another. The one which shows over another is called a dominant, and the other which fails to express itself is called the recessive trait

Students have asked these similar questions
In humans, having dimpled cheeks is dominant to non-dimpled cheeks. Is it possible that two dimpled adults
have a non-dimpled child? Use a Punnett square to explain your answer. If it is possible, what is the
probability of this occurring?
For a recessive X-linked mutation, such as colorblindness, explain the pattern of inheritance from anaffected male through his daughters into her children.
In people the gene, which causes one form of color-blindness or Daltonism, is located in the X-chromosome. The affected condition is caused by a recessive gene, healthy condition is dominant. A girl who has emmetropia (normal eyesight), whose father had color-blindness, marries a normal man, whose father also suffers from color-blindness. What kind of sight is expected in the children from this marriage?

A mother with the disorder produces all offspring without the disorder. Explain the genotype of the mother.arrow_forwardEarlobes can be attached to the face or non-attached. An attached earlobe is a recessive trait. A female with attached earlobes (Il) has a child with a man with non-attached earlobes. He is heterozygous for this trait. Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d.

- Suppose a maternal effect gene exists as a functional dominantallele and a nonfunctional recessive allele that causes a disorder.A mother with the disorder produces offspring that are all withoutthe disorder. Explain the genotype of the mother.arrow_forwardA couple with the following blood types: the man has type AB and the woman has type B, discover their child has type O blood. Is it possible that one of these ‘parents’ may not actually be the genetic parent of this child? If so, which one, and how do you know?arrow_forwardA gene is composed of two alleles. An allele can be either dominant or recessive. Suppose that a husband and wife, who are both carriers of the sickle-cell anemia allele but do not have the disease, decide to have a child. Because both parents are carriers of the disease, each has one dominant normal-cell allele (S) and one recessive sickle-cell allele (s). Therefore, the genotype of each parent is Ss. Each parent contributes one allele to his or her offspring with each allele being equally likely. Complete parts a) through c) below. a) Genes are always written with the dominant gene first. Therefore, there are two instances the offspring could have genotype Ss (one if the mother contributes the dominant allele and the father contributes the non-dominant allele; and one if the father contributes the dominant allele and the mother contributes the non-dominant allele). List the other two possible genotypes of the offspring. (Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)arrow_forward
