im not good with dna sequenceseither

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I have to go guys so c ya later

thomaster (thomaster):

they're not DNA sequences :P they're phenotypes of certain alleles in genes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well doesnt that have to do with DNA

thomaster (thomaster):

Capital C is most likely the affected gene and lowercase c is the normal. Females have XX and males have XY Since the father has normal blood clotting, his genotype will be \(\sf\Large X^cY\), not \(\sf\Large X^CY\) So the answer will either be C or D Since the disease needs 2 affected genes in females to come to expression, the mother needs \(\sf\Large X^CX^C\) (homozygote = 2 of the same) to have the disease. But the mother is carrier, this means she's heterozygote: \(\sf\Large X^CX^c\) (heterozygote = 2 different). She can pass on the disease to her children but it's rare that women will have the disease.

whoa O_O @thomaster

It does have to do with DNA. But to solve this problem, all we really need to understand is how sex-linked diseases are passed down.
