o Provide an example of a genotype, using the alleles A/a that is: o Homozygous recessive for an o Homozygous dominant o Heterozygous o X-linked recessive (female, affected) o X- linked recessive (male; affected)

Step 1
- Homozygous recessive: An individual has two copies of the recessive allele (aa). - Homozygous dominant: An individual has two copies of the dominant allele (AA). - Heterozygous: An individual has one copy of the dominant allele and one copy of the recessive Show more…

Clearly explain how the number of alleles for sex-linked genes varies in males and females. Include how this affects the genotypes of each sex. In other words, are these terms applicable: homozygous, heterozygous, carriers, etc.? Considering a recessive genetic disorder that is carried on the X-chromosome, should a male child be more concerned if his mother has the disorder or his father has the disorder? Explain your reasoning. How might this differ for a female child? Include at least one properly cited reference.
