Alcohol dependence is determined by a dominant autosomal gene (A), and the need to smoke tobacco

Alcohol dependence is determined by a dominant autosomal gene (A), and the need to smoke tobacco is determined by a sex-linked recessive gene (b). A man who smokes and drinks marries a woman who does not smoke or drink. The man is heterozygous for the alcoholism gene, and the woman is heterozygous for the tobacco smoking gene. A) How likely are children with a tendency to alcoholism to be born in this family? children with a tendency to smoke will be born? Q) How likely is it to have children with a tendency to smoke and alcoholism at the same time?

The father’s genotype will be AaX ^ bX ^ b
The mother’s genotype will be aaX ^ BX ^ b
In this case, the heotypes of the offspring will be: AaX ^ BX ^ b; AaX ^ bX ^ b; aaX ^ BX ^ b; aaX ^ bX ^ b
A) Children with a tendency to alcoholism 50%
B) Children with a tendency to smoke 50%
C) Children with a tendency to both alcoholism and smoking 25%
