Rhesus factor is an antigen present on the surface of red blood cells of Rhesus positive
individuals.

negative blood gives birth to a baby with Rhesus positive blood and there are concerns
that subsequent pregnancies will trigger an immune response.

The ACHOO syndrome is an inherited condition that leads to sneezing in response to

bright light and is hypothesized to be inherited in an autosomal (not sex-linked)
dominant fashion. The following is a pedigree chart that shows three generations from
one family.
What evidence from the pedigree chart confirms that the ACHOO syndrome is not Xlinked dominant?
A.
Four females in the pedigree chart are affected and X-linked conditions do not
affect females.
B.
There is an affected male in generation II.
C.
There is an affected female in generation II.
D.
If the condition is X-linked dominant, the affected mother in generation II could

not produce an unaffected son.
