6. In humans, hemophilia is a sex linked trait. Females can be normal (X H X H), carriers (X H X h), or have the disease (X h X h).

Males will either have the disease (X h Y)or not (X H Y); but they won’t ever be carriers

______= female, normal______= male, normal

______= female, carrier______= male, hemophiliac

______= female, hemophiliac

Show the cross of a man who has hemophilia with a woman who is a carrier in the Punnett Square below.

What sex will a child in the family with hemophiliabe? ______

Autosomal Pedigree Chart

Background information: Pedigree charts are used to trace a gene as it is passed down from generation to generation. The squares represent a male and the circles a female. In the example below, the shaded circles and squares will represent having the disorder. Make sure to read each question to find out if a disorder is caused by dominant alleles or recessive alleles. A person can be a carrier of a trait, meaning they will have heterozygous alleles.

8. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease where mucus develops in the lungs, liver, and the pancreas. Below is an autosomal pedigree chart tracing the passing of the cystic fibrosis gene through three generations. Write the genotypes on the lines next to/below each individual.

Answer the following questions using the autosomal pedigree chart above:

  1. What is the phenotype of individual # 2? ______
  2. What is the phenotype of individual # 3? ______
  3. What is the phenotype of individual # 5? ______
  4. What is the phenotype of individual # 7? ______
  5. What is the phenotype of individual #10? ______
  6. What is the phenotype of individual #11? ______
  7. Why did individuals 9, 11, and 12 get the disorder when their parents did not have the disorder? ______
