What is the probability that a male will inherit an X-linkedrecessive allele from his father?
There is no possibility that a male will inherit and X-linked recessive allele from his father because for a male child the father only contributes the Y chromosome to his son (of the XY pair he has). If the fater's X chromosome has a recessive allele then it is 100% certain that he will pas this on to all his daughters.

What is the probability that certain genotypes and phenotypes will occur?
This depends entirely on the genotype of the parents. The probability of getting a specific genotype is the probability of getting the correct allele from mother (1/2) multiplied by the probability of getting the correct allele from father (1/2) multiplied by the number of ways this can occur. The probability of getting a phenotype, if the phenotype is dominant, is the sum of the probability of getting two dominant alleles, and the probability of getting one dominant allele. If the phenotype is recessive, the probability is equal to the probability of getting two recessive alleles.
What is the probability that a paternity test will be correct?
As part of a paternity test it includes a probability value to determine the probability that the man in question is biological father or not. If the probability value is 99.99% and the mother, child and man in question have all been tested then the man is the father. If it is less than that then the man is not the father. It is impossible to get a probability value of 100% unless every man in the world were tested. As it stands a paternity test is as accurate as its probability value. Therefore a paternity test with a probability value of 99.99% has a 99.99% chance of being correct. A paternity test is very accurate and does a great job of showing a childs genetic parents. The test is 99.9% accurate.
What does probability of paternity means?
Probability of paternity (POP) means how likely the man is to be the father. If the result is a 99% (or anything over 64, haha) POP I would say that he's the daddy.
What is the probability that a heterozygous father and a recessive mother with have offspring that are dominant?
25% or 1 out of 4 (You can use a Punnett Square for that and/or other questions like it.)
A woman has 5 children 1 girl and 4 boys What is the probability that her next child will be a girl?
50%, the Father's contribution decides the sex of a child.
Can a mother with AB and father with O have a child with A blood?
NO
If a mans father has a BBkk genotype for two particular genes and his mother has the BBkk genotype what will the mans genotype be?
The man will inherit one allele from each parent, so he will have the genotype Bbkk.
Which of the parents can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter?
The father is the one who can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter. Hemophilia is a recessive X-linked disorder, so the daughter would need to inherit the hemophilia allele from her father.
What is the probability that a father produces a gamete with the allele for attached earlobes if he has one allele for detached earlobes and one allele for attached earlobes?
50%
A man who carries an X-linked allele will pass it on to?
All his daughters, who will inherit one copy of the X-linked allele and become carriers themselves, but not his sons. Sons inherit a Y chromosome from their father and an X chromosome from their mother.
What is the probability that certain genotypes and phenotypes will occur?
This depends entirely on the genotype of the parents. The probability of getting a specific genotype is the probability of getting the correct allele from mother (1/2) multiplied by the probability of getting the correct allele from father (1/2) multiplied by the number of ways this can occur. The probability of getting a phenotype, if the phenotype is dominant, is the sum of the probability of getting two dominant alleles, and the probability of getting one dominant allele. If the phenotype is recessive, the probability is equal to the probability of getting two recessive alleles.
If the blood type of your mother is B and your fateher is O what is your blood type?
You could be blood type B or O, as you inherit one blood type allele from each parent. If you inherit a B allele from your mother and an O allele from your father, you would be blood type B. If you inherit an O allele from both parents, you would be blood type O.
Father with homozygous genes for dominant trait?
This means that the father has two copies of the dominant allele for a particular trait. As a result, all of his offspring will inherit at least one copy of the dominant allele from him. This implies that all his offspring will either express the dominant trait or be carriers of the dominant allele.
Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?
Hemophilia is sex linked. Males inherit from their mother, daughters are carriers if the defective gene is inherited from one of either parent. A female must inherit two copies of the defective allele to have hemophilia .
Can an O positive father have an b positive son?
Yes, an O positive father can have a B positive son. The son would inherit one B allele from the father and one O allele from the mother, resulting in a B positive blood type.
How many allele do you get from each parent?
You inherit one allele for each gene from each of your parents. This means that for each gene, you receive two alleles in total - one from your mother and one from your father.
Can an AB negative mother and an A positive father have an o positive baby?
No. The baby must inherit one allele from each parent - therefore they must get either an A or B from the mother.
