Assume that two genes follow a simple dominant/recessive pattern of inheritance, with one located on an autosomal chromosome and one located on the X chromosome. Two parents are heterozygous for the autosomal gene: Kk. The father has the dominant allele on the X chromosome: X, while the mother is heterozygous: Xx.

1. What percentage of their children will exhibit the recessive phenotypes?
2. How is this different between male and female offspring?
3. What percent of offspring will be carriers for the recessive allele of the X-linked gene?



Answer :

Final answer:

50% of male offspring show the X-linked recessive phenotype, while 0% of females do. 50% of both male and female offspring will be carriers of the X-linked gene.


Explanation:

50% of the male offspring will exhibit the recessive phenotype for X-linked inheritance, while 0% of the female offspring will exhibit the recessive phenotype since they will either be carriers or unaffected. For the X-linked gene, 50% of the male offspring will be carriers, and 50% of the female offspring will be carriers as well.
