Hemophiliac is an experimental musical act. This group is billed as improvisational music from the outer reaches of madness. Mike Patton does voice effects along with John Zorn on saxophone and Ikue Mori on laptop electronics.

sex-linked genetic question?

Q: Hemophilia results from the expression of a six0linked recessive gene h. Women who are heterozygous for the H/h gene have normal blood clotting, but are called carriers because they can pass the recessive allele on to their offspringType of problem- Sex-linkedA)A normal man marries a woman who is a carrier. If they have 4 boys, what is the chance that one with be a hemophiliac? If they had 4 girls, what is the chance that one will be a hemophiliac?B)Is it more common for male or for female offspring of a carrier to be hemophiliacs? Why?C)A kind with hemophilia married a normal woman who is not a carrier. They have two princes and two princesses. What proportion of each sex is expected to have hemophilia? What proportion of each sex are expected to be carriers?

A: Since a woman can be a carrier, it follows that the gene is on the X chromosome (if it was on the Y chromosome, a woman could never carry either allele). Furthermore, a man will only need one copy of the recessive allele to be a hemophiliac (since his other sex chromosome will always be Y), whereas a woman will need two copies of the recessive allele (one on each of her X chromosomes) to have the disease.A) The boys will always inherit the Y chromosome from their father, and one of the X chromosomes from their mother. So what is the probability that the boy will get the recessive allele from their mother? The girls will always inherit their father’s single X chromosome and one of the two X chromosomes of their mother. Can a daughter get two copies of the recessive allele under these circumstances?B) Should be easy based on my preamble and your answer to the last part of A).C) Both sons and daughters will get an X chromosome from the mother. Since the mother is not a carrier, this will always be the normal, dominant allele (mother is HH). Answering the question of what proportion of offspring will actually be hemophiliacs should be easy. As mentioned in A), a son always gets his single Y chromosome from his father and his single X from his mother. Since the disease allele is on the father’s X… should be easy to answer what proportion of sons will be carriers. Again from A), a daughter always gets Dad’s single X, and one of Mom’s pair of X. Since Dad’s single X has the disease gene and Mom is not carrying any copies… should be easy to answer what proportion of daughters will be carriers.

Hemophilia is an exampleof an X-linked hereditary disease. Queen Victoria of England was a carrier, and?

Q: through her children she spread the gene to several other royal houses in Europe. 1) If you were a member of one of these families, what would be some implications?2) If hemophilia had been trasmitted as a recessive trait, rather than an X-linked one, what would have been the implications for the European aristocracy?3) Why are there so many more male than female hemophiliacs.Please help. Serious answer only

A: 1) If she spread the gene to other families then there would be a history of hemophilia in your males.2) This question isn’t clear because hemophilia IS recessive, but it’s also sex linked. If hemophilia wasn’t sex linked at all then there would be approximately the same risk of males and females getting the disease, but this risk would be drastically lowered. In fact, it would be the same risk factor as a woman inheriting a sex linked recessive disease. The reason is that women have 2 X chromosomes, just like all their others.3) There are more male hemophiliacs because in males, only one allele for the disease is necessary to exhibit the trait. That’s because it’s recessive and if a female had a single recessive gene, that would not be enough to exhibit the trait.

Hemophilia is a sex linked trait which is more common in males than females.?

Q: A non hemophiliac man marries a normal female whose father was a hemophiliac, what is the expected phenotype ratio of children they might produce?

A: If the man and woman are heterozygous:you will have three kids with no hemophilia and one with hemophiliaIf the woman is heterozygous and the man is homozygous dominant:you will have no kids with hemophilia
