Steroid sulfatase deficiency ichthyosis is an X linked recessive skin condition in humans causing large dark scales on the trunk and extremities. Suppose a mating between a woman whose father had this condition, but she does not, and a man who does not have this condition. They mate, resulting in their children. Give the percentages of their children that will have each possible genotype and phenotype, including breakdown of males and females. Be sure to use appropriate X linked notation, with an I or i for the allele. Include unaffected carriers in phenotype. For full points, your answer should contain: All possible genotypes and phenotypes for males All possible genotypes and phenotypes for females Percentages of each possible genotype and phenotype Unaffected carriers

The frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 0.19 (A) and 0.81 (a). Assume that the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. a. Calculate the percentage of heterozygous individuals in the population. b. Calculate the percentage of homozygous recessive individuals in the population.
