Muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked recessive disorder. A man with muscular dystrophy marries a woman who doesn’t have this disease. Half of their daughters and half of their sons develop this disease. What is the genotype of the mother?

A X-linked gene in fruit flies controls the patterns of the wings. X^B has a barred pattern and X^b doesn’t have bars. A male with barred wings is mated to a non-barred female. What would be the genotype(s) of their female offspring?

The bison herd on Konza Prairie has a sex-linked trait known as “rabbit hock” in which the knee of the back leg is slightly malformed. A male bull that is normal mates with a cow that is a carrier for rabbit hock. What are his chances of producing a normal male?

The bison herd on Konza Prairie has a sex-linked trait known as “rabbit hock” in which the knee of the back leg is slightly malformed. A male bull that is normal mates with a cow that is a carrier for rabbit hock. Of the female offspring, what percent would be carriers?
