23. Hemophilia is a sex-linked trait where XH gives normal blood clotting and is dominant to the hemophilia allele Xh. a. Give the genotypes of 1) a woman with normal blood clotting whose father had hemophilia and 2) a normal man whose father had hemophilia. b. What is the probability that a mating between these two individuals will produce a child, regardless of sex, that has hemophilia? 18 c. If this couple-has a daughter, what is the probability that the daughter will be a carrier of the hemophilia trait? d. If this couple has a son, what is the probability he will have hemophilia? 24. Clouded leopards are a medium sized, endangered species of cat, living in the very wet cloud forests of Central America. Assume that the normal spots (X) are a dominant, sex-linked trait and that dark spots are the recessive counterpart. Suppose as a Conservation Biologist, you are involved in a clouded leopard breeding program. One year you cross a male with dark spots and a female with normal spots. She has four cubs and, conveniently, two are male and two female. One each of the male and female cubs has normal spots and one each has dark spots. What is the genotype of the mother? 23.
