1) In a cross between a pure bred, red-eyed female fruit fly and a white-eyed male, what percent of the male offspring will have white eyes? (white eyes are X-linked, recessive)






2) What is the genotype of a red-eyed, yellow-bodied female fruit fly who is homozygous for the eye color allele? Red eyes (w+) and tan bodies (y+) are the dominant alleles. (Both traits are X chromosome linked).







3) Hemophilia in humans is due to an X-chromosome mutation. What will be the results of mating between a normal (non-carrier) female and a hemophiliac male?







4) A human female "carrier" who is heterozygous for the recessive, sex-linked trait causing red-green color blindness (or alternatively, hemophilia), marries a normal male. What proportion of their male progeny will have red-green color blindness (or alternatively, will be hemophiliac)?







5) Women have sex chromosomes of XX, and men have sex chromosomes of XY. Which of a man's grandparents could not be the source of any of the genes on his Y-chromosome?







6) Women have sex chromosomes of XX, and men have sex chromosomes of XY. Which of a women's grandparents could not be the source of any of the genes on either of her X-chromosomes?







7) A human female "carrier" who is heterozygous for the recessive, sex-linked trait red color blindness, marries a normal male. What proportion of their female progeny will show the trait?
