Consider the x-linked dominant disorder congenital generalized hypertrichosis (cgh). what can you determine about the potential offspring of a couple in which the father has cgh and the mother does not?

***See attached picture***

For any question asking you to draw conclusions about the offspring of two parents, you should always start by making a Punnett Square. This will allow you determine the potential genotypes of the offspring. Here are your steps to making the Punnett Square:

1. Set up a key that states dominant vs recessive alleles and the associated phenotypes/traits. (***see pic***)

2. Determine the genotypes of the parents.

Sometimes this will be given, sometimes you will have to do a little detective work to figure it out. In this case, you have to figure it out using the given info:

3. Using genotypes of parents, set up Punnett Square. (***see pic***)

4. Make conclusions from Punnett Sqaure. (***see pic***)

Conclusion: After filling out the Punnett Square, you only get two potential genotypes for the offspring: (X^d,Y) and (X^D,X^d).

This means...

Half of offspring would have disorder (X^D,X^d), half of offspring would not have disorder (X^d,Y). Furthermore, all female offspring will have disorder (X^D,X^d), and all male offspring will not have disorder (X^d,Y).

gregor john mendel is known for study of inheritance in pea plants. he used garden pea plant for his study, having alternative traits for various characters. he performed cross-breeding in pea plants to check how characters are transmitted between parents to offspring, such as cross between pure tall and pure dwarf plant. mendel studied the inheritance patterns in pea plants for various generations.

thus, the correct answer includes options and f).
