- The pedigree pictured is of an extended family where a large percentage of family members develop colon cancer at an early age. In this family, individuals either get colon cancer before the age of 16, or they don’t get it at all. a) Based on the information you have been given, what evidence, if any, suggests an inherited contribution to the development of this disease? b) You take a medical history of all 33 people in the pedigree and discover that a large percentage drink a special coffee on a daily basis, while others do not. The individuals who do not drink coffee are I-1, II-2, II-4, II-9, III-7, III-13, IV-1, and IV-3. Could drinking this special coffee play a role in colon cancer? Explain.arrow_forwardWhat is the mode of inheritance of this pedigree and why?arrow_forwardThis pedigree depicts the inheritance of the mitochondrial disease Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON).

- What is the one most probable mode of inheritance for this pedigree and why?arrow_forwardQueen Victoria had 1 (Leopold) out of four male offspring with hemophilia. What was the probability of this scenario? Hemophilia is known as "The royal disease" because many of the European royal families had members afflicted with it. A really famous case was Queen Victoria's (1819-1901) descendants who spread the disease across Europe, from Spain to Russia. You can see the pedigree of Queen Victoria's family here:Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disease.
