In a population of interest, 1 in 2000 women are affected with haemophilia A, an X-linked recessive condition.
a) What is the carrier frequency in this population for Haemophilia A?
b) What is the expected frequency of men affected with Haemophilia A?
A) Genotypic frequentcy of disease female is 1/2000=0.0005
The allelic frequency of disease allele (Xh) is √0.0005= 0.0223606798 or 0.022
The allelic frequency of XH is 1- Xh = 1-0.22= 0.978
Carrier frequency is 2×XH× Xh = 2×0.978×0.022= 0.043032
B) The expected frequency of affected male is Xh= 0.0223606798 or 0.022 on round off upto three decimal place.
Because the genotype of affected male has XhY. Affected male has one Xh allele only.

Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive trait. In a population of 2000 people, 4 women have hemophilia, 30 men have hemophilia, and 80 are carriers of the disorder. What is the frequency of the hemophilia allele? (Assume the population is 50% men and 50% women.) a.0.059 b.0.033 c.0.057 d.0.039 e.0.038 In a population of 15,000 individuals, 1350 express a recessive trait. How many heterozygotes are there expected to be? a.2100 b.3150 c.6300 d.1800 e.4200
Hemophilia is an x-linked recessive trait. In a population of 2000 people, 4 women have hemophilia, 30 men have hemophilia, and 80 are carriers of the disorder.

For a recessive X-linked trait there are 9 affected females in every 10,000 women. How many men in 10,000 are affected by the trait if the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
Red-green color blindness is an X-linked trait. In a population genetics study, 1,000 people (500 men and 500 women) were tested for this trait, and 35 men were found to be color blind. Use this information to compute the frequency of the allele for color blindness and the wild-type allele in this population, and estimate the expected number of carrier females.
8. In a population of 12,000 individuals, 300 men are afflicted with a recessive, X-linked disease. How many woman would be expected to be afflicted in this population? (Assume the population is 50% men and 50% women.) a. 30 b. 7.5 c. 60 d. 15 e. 3.75
Consider an X-linked recessive trait that is present in 5% of the males in a population. Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and a 1:1 sex ratio in the population. What is the frequency of the trait in the females of that population? Refer to question 7. What is the frequency of carrier females in that population? ** I understand how to do part one but not sure how to do part two. The correct answer is 0.0950**
Fill in the blank. Hemophilia is an X-linked trait. In a population of 20,000 people in HW equilibrium, 10,000 women and 10,000 men were tested for this trait, and 15 men were found to have the disorder. The value that you calculated for the Hemophilia allele was (to 4 decimal places) _______ and there would be _______ carrier females in this population.
39 of 45 Why are sex-linked conditions more common in men than in women? Women simply do not develop the disease regardless of their genetic composition. Men need to inherit only one copy of the recessive allele for the condition to be fully expressed. The sex chromosomes are more active in men than in women. Men acquire two copies of the defective gene during fertilization. Men have more linked genes.
Famously, Queen Victoria’s descendants were plagued by haemophilia, an X-linked recessive disease. The present day monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth, is a direct descendent of Queen Victoria: Elizabeth’s great grandfather was Victoria’s son (King Edward VII) who was not a haemophiliac. What is the chance that Elizabeth is a carrier for haemophilia? Explain your reasoning **i know not all infomation is provided but the answer is apprenently avaliable within that infomation.**
Suppose there is an x-linked recessive disease linked to baldness. In a large randomly mating population of 1600 females, 1 is bald from the genetic disorder. What is the allelic frequency of males with hair.
