The disease hemophilia (abnormal blood clotting) is caused by a recessive allele, and the gene is located on the X chromosome. If an X chromosome contains the allele for hemophilia, we will write it like this: X*. If the X chromosome contains the allele for normal blood clotting, we will write it like this: X. A mother is a carrier for this disease, but she does not have the disease. Her genotype is XX*. Her husband does not have the disease. His genotype is XY. Use a Punnett square to predict the probability that their child will have hemophilia. Can you tell if that child is a boy or a girl
they gave me http://www.athro.com/evo/gen/punnett.html website as a source
@undeadknight26 Can you help :D ??
@TheSmartOne
@bibby can you help in a biology question?
@ganeshie8 Can you please help its very confusing and i don't understand the punnett square
@DanJS do you know anything in biology :D
@AlexandervonHumboldt2
I am not that great in Bipology but I know @pooja195 @deepika.comet @Abhisar are awesome in Bio and might be able to help you!
do you have any ideas on how to start thiis?
We have a mother (XX) and a father (XY). Let's use X* for the X chromosome that carries the disease version of the gene. So, X*X and XY. Do a Punnett square. Remember, it is recessive so to have the disease an individual must have only the X* version. Either X*X* or X*Y.
@mrdoldum Thank you so much :D
