2. Human Inheritance Inheritance of Blood Type
The table shows which combinations of alleles result in each human blood type.

3. Human Inheritance X and Y Chromosomes
The human X chromosome is larger and carries more genes than the human Y chromosome.

4. Human Inheritance Colorblindness Punnett Square
Red-green colorblindness is a sex-linked trait. Complete the Punnett square.

5. Human Genetic Disorders
Sickle-Cell Disease
A man has sickle-cell disease. His wife does not have the disease, but is heterozygous for the sickle-cell trait. Use this information to complete the Punnett square. What is the probability that their child will have the sickle-cell disease?

6. Human Genetic Disorders
Hemophilia
Hemophilia occurs more often in males than in females. Cross a carrier female, XHXh, with a healthy male, XHY, and complete the Punnett square.

7. Human Genetic Disorders
Pedigrees
This pedigree shows the inheritance of the allele for albinism in three generations of a family.
