    A male human is heterozygous for autosomal genes A and B and is also hemizygous for haemophilic gene h. What proportion of his sperms will be abh?

    A)  \[\frac{1}{8}\]

    B)  \[\frac{1}{32}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{16}\]

    D)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The genotype of human male in question must be\[Aa\,Bb\,{{X}^{h}}Y\]. Hence\[2\times 2\times 2=8\]types of gametes would be formed. \[AB\text{ }{{X}^{h}},\text{ }ABY,\text{ }aB\text{ }{{X}^{h}}\]. \[aBY,\text{ }Ab\text{ }{{X}^{h}},\text{ }AbY,\text{ }ab\text{ }{{X}^{h}},\text{ }abY.\] Hence 1/8 proportion of his sperms would be abh.
