The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the result of a cross between a normal homozygous female and a hemophiliac male, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genotypes**: - A normal homozygous female has the genotype **XX** (both X chromosomes are normal). - A hemophiliac male has the genotype **X^H Y** (one X chromosome carries the hemophilia allele). 2. **Determine Gametes**: - The normal homozygous female can produce gametes that are all **X** (since both X chromosomes are normal). - The hemophiliac male can produce two types of gametes: **X^H** (hemophilia allele) and **Y** (normal Y chromosome). 3. **Set Up the Punnett Square**: - Create a Punnett square to visualize the possible combinations of gametes from the parents. - The gametes from the female (XX) will be on one side and the gametes from the male (X^H Y) on the other side. | | X | X | |---------|-------|-------| | **X^H** | X X^H | X X^H | | **Y** | X Y | X Y | 4. **Analyze the Offspring**: - From the Punnett square, we can see the possible genotypes of the offspring: - **X X^H**: This represents a carrier female (normal phenotype but a carrier of hemophilia). - **X Y**: This represents a normal male (normal phenotype). 5. **Summarize the Results**: - The offspring from this cross will be: - **50% carrier females (X X^H)** - **50% normal males (X Y)** ### Conclusion: The result of the cross between a normal homozygous female and a hemophiliac male would yield normal males and carrier females.
