To determine the kind of children born to a normal father and a carrier mother for the trait of hemophilia, we can use a Punnett square. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait located on the X chromosome. Here’s the step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Genotypes - **Father's Genotype**: Since the father is normal, his genotype will be **X^H Y** (where X^H represents the normal allele). - **Mother's Genotype**: The mother is a carrier, so her genotype will be **X^H X** (where X^H is the normal allele and X is the hemophilia allele). ### Step 2: Set Up the Punnett Square - Draw a 2x2 grid. ...
