The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of a hemophilic carrier female marrying a normal man and determining the potential progeny, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Identify the Genotypes**: - The hemophilic carrier female has the genotype **X^H X** (where X^H represents the hemophilia allele and X represents the normal allele). - The normal male has the genotype **X Y**. 2. **Determine the Gametes**: - The female can produce two types of gametes: **X^H** and **X**. - The male can produce two types of gametes: **X** and **Y**. 3. **Create a Punnett Square**: - Set up a Punnett square to determine the possible combinations of the gametes from each parent. - The rows will represent the female's gametes and the columns will represent the male's gametes. ``` X Y ---------------- X^H | X^H X | X^H Y | ---------------- X | X X | X Y | ``` 4. **Analyze the Offspring**: - From the Punnett square, we can identify the potential genotypes of the offspring: - **X^H X** (female carrier) - **X^H Y** (male with hemophilia) - **X X** (normal female) - **X Y** (normal male) 5. **Determine the Phenotypes**: - The phenotypes based on the genotypes are: - **X^H X**: Carrier female (not affected) - **X^H Y**: Affected male (hemophilia) - **X X**: Normal female - **X Y**: Normal male 6. **Calculate the Ratios**: - The offspring can be categorized as follows: - 50% females (1 carrier, 1 normal) - 50% males (1 affected, 1 normal) ### Conclusion - The progeny will consist of: - 50% daughters (1 carrier, 1 normal) - 50% sons (1 hemophilic, 1 normal) Thus, the correct answer is that **50% of the sons will have hemophilia**.
