The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the inheritance of pseudo-rickets when the father is affected and the mother is normal, we need to analyze the genetic background of both parents and how it affects their offspring. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Genetic Condition**: - Pseudo-rickets is often linked to a genetic mutation that can be sex-linked, particularly on the X chromosome. Since males have one X and one Y chromosome (XY), they will express the trait if their single X chromosome carries the mutation. 2. **Determine the Genotype of the Parents**: - The father, who has pseudo-rickets, would have the genotype X^rY (where X^r represents the X chromosome with the pseudo-rickets allele). - The mother is normal, so her genotype would be XX (assuming she does not carry the allele for pseudo-rickets). 3. **Gamete Formation**: - The father can produce two types of gametes: X^r and Y. - The mother can produce one type of gamete: X. 4. **Punnett Square Analysis**: - Set up a Punnett square to determine the possible genotypes of the offspring. - The possible combinations from the father's gametes (X^r and Y) and the mother's gametes (X) would be: - X^r from father and X from mother → Female offspring: X^rX (affected) - Y from father and X from mother → Male offspring: XY (normal) 5. **Offspring Analysis**: - From the Punnett square, we can see: - 50% of the offspring will be female (X^rX) and will be affected by pseudo-rickets. - 50% of the offspring will be male (XY) and will be normal. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, if the father has pseudo-rickets and the mother is normal, the offspring will consist of 50% affected females and 50% normal males. ### Final Answer: Only female children will be affected by pseudo-rickets. ---
