The mating of an Xg(a+) man and an Xg(a-) woman will produce which of the following?

The mating of an Xg(a+) man and an Xg(a-) woman will produce which of the following?

• A. Xg(a-) sons and Xg(a-) daughters
• B. Xg(a+) sons and Xg(a+) daughters
• C. Xg(a-) sons and Xg(a+) daughters
• D. Xg(a+) sons and Xg(a-) daughters

Answer: (C)

In this genetic scenario, the Xg gene is located on the X chromosome and is involved in the expression of the Xg antigen, which can be either present (Xg(a+)) or absent (Xg(a-)). The man has the genotype Xg(a+) on his X chromosome, and the woman has the genotype Xg(a-) on one of her X chromosomes. When an Xg(a+) man and an Xg(a-) woman reproduce, the inheritance of the Xg gene will follow the pattern of X-linked inheritance. Sons inherit one X chromosome from their mother and one Y chromosome from their father. Daughters inherit one X chromosome from their mother and one X chromosome from their father. The potential combinations from the father (Xg(a+) by virtue of his X chromosome) and mother (Xg(a-) due to her X chromosome) lead to the following results: - Sons will inherit the Y chromosome from their father and the Xg(a-) chromosome from their mother, making them Xg(a-). - Daughters will inherit the Xg(a+) chromosome from their father and the Xg(a-) chromosome from their mother, making them Xg(a+). Thus, the combination of these genotypes results in X
