Question

question 9
in genetic cross 10. cystic fibrosis. if you crossed a carrier male with a female with cystic fibrosis, what percentage of the offspring would have cystic fibrosus.

question 10
in the genetic cross 11 hemophilia. what is the phenotypic ratio if you crossed a male hemophiliac with a carrier female?
normal male enter answer : normal female enter answer : carrier female
enter answer : hemophiliac male enter answer : hemophiliac female

Explanation:

Response
Question 9

Step1: Define alleles

Let the normal allele be $A$ and the cystic - fibrosis allele be $a$. A carrier male has the genotype $Aa$ and a female with cystic fibrosis has the genotype $aa$.

Step2: Set up Punnett - square

The possible gametes from the male are $A$ and $a$, and from the female are all $a$. The Punnett - square has two rows (female gametes) and two columns (male gametes).

Step3: Determine genotypes of offspring

The genotypes of the offspring are $Aa$ and $aa$ in a 1:1 ratio.

Step4: Calculate percentage

Since half of the offspring have the genotype $aa$ (which has cystic fibrosis), the percentage is 50%.

Step1: Define alleles

Let the normal allele for blood - clotting be $H$ and the hemophilia allele be $h$. A male hemophiliac has the genotype $X^hY$ and a carrier female has the genotype $X^HX^h$.

Step2: Set up Punnett - square

The possible gametes from the male are $X^h$ and $Y$, and from the female are $X^H$ and $X^h$.

Step3: Determine genotypes of offspring

The genotypes of the offspring are $X^HX^h$ (carrier female), $X^hX^h$ (hemophiliac female), $X^HY$ (normal male), $X^hY$ (hemophiliac male) in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.
