A woman heterozygous for the trait maries a normal male What is the probability that ths couple will have hemophiliac daughters? what s the probability that this couple wil have hemoph lic sons? Explain the goai and possible benefts of the Human Genome Project

Explanation / Answer

Haemophilia A is a recessive trait located on x chromosome. If a woman heterozygous for haemophilia trait (xxh) marries normal man (xy), the offsprings will be :

xxh X xy

xx(normal female), xhx(carrier female),

xy(normal male), xhy(haemophillic male).

So, the probability of haemophillic daughters is zero% and the probability of haemophillic sons is 50%.

Human genome project began in 1990 and was completed in 2003. The main goals of the project were to identify all the 30,000 genes in human DNA and to store information in data base.

It helped in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disorders. Through genomic analysis rare mutations have been discovered. It also helped in the categorisation of cancers, so that the appropriate treatment can be made.
