Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A woman who is a carrier for #1 hemophilia and a man that does not have the condition have children. What is the probability that they will have a child with the condition being studied? What is the gender of that child?

if the baby gets the Y chromosome from the father it will be a boy. If the boy gets his mother's X chromosome with the hemophilia gene he will have hemophilia. If he inherits his mother's other X chromosome, he will have normal blood clotting. If the baby gets the X chromosome from the father it will be a girl.

#4 A woman that is heterozygous for type A blood and a man that is heterozygous for type B blood have children. What are the possible blood types of their children?

One parent with A and another with B can produce a child with A, B, AB or O blood types.

#5 Two people are both unknowingly carriers for the cystic fibrosis gene. What is the probability that they will have children with cystic fibrosis?

If both parents are carriers there is a 1 in 4 (25 percent) chance that both will pass on the non-functioning gene, which would result in a pregnancy affected with cystic fibrosis.

#3 A woman that is heterozygous for Huntington's disease and a man that does not have the condition have children . What is the probability that their children inherit the Huntington's gene ?

Huntington's disease (HD) is what is called a dominant genetic disease. What this usually means is that a child only has a chance of getting a disease like this if a parent has it too. But parents without HD can have a child with HD. This is true of any dominant genetic disease
