How are recessive traits inherited when multiple alleles or sex-linked genes are involved?
Fatina S.
A person is simultaneously heterozygous for two autosomal genetic traits. One is a recessive condition for albinism (alleles $A$ and $a$ ); this albinism gene is found near the centromere on the long arm of an acrocentric autosome. The other trait is the dominantly inherited Huntington disease (alleles $H D$ and $H D^{+}$ ). The Huntington gene is located near the telomere of one of the arms of a metacentric autosome. Draw all copies of the two relevant chromosomes in this person as they would appear during metaphase of (a) mitosis, (b) meiosis I, and (c) meiosis II. In each figure, label the location on every chromatid of the alleles for these two genes, assuming that no recombination takes place.
If a woman has both alleles in her body cells, what will her eggs contain?
