An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
Assume that the ratio of females to males is 1:1. A couple already has two daughters and no sons. If they plan to have a total of six children, what is the probability that they will have four more girls? (a) (b) (c) 116 (d) 132 (e) 164
Analysis of X-Linked Dominant and Recessive Traits A young boy is color-blind. His one brother and five sisters are not. The boy has three maternal uncles and four maternal aunts. None of his uncles children or grandchildren is color-blind. One of the maternal aunts married a color-blind man, and half of her children, both male and female, are color-blind. The other aunts married men who have normal color vision. All their daughters have normal vision, but half of their sons are color-blind. a. Which of the boys four grandparents transmitted the gene for color blindness? b. Are any of the boys aunts or uncles color-blind? c. Is either of the boys parents color-blind?
What is the relationship between individual I-1 and individual III-2? Incidence of Hemophilia homozygous dominant II homozygous recessive III grandfather-granddaughter grandmother-grandson great aunt-nephew mother-son
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder and blood type is autosomal. If two healthy parents, one of which is blood type A and the other blood type B, produce a son who has hemophilia and is type O, what is the probability that their next child will be a son with hemophilia and blood type B? 1/2 3/16 1/4 1/8 1/16
What is the probability of a hemophiliac daughter if the mother is a carrier and the father is normal? Remember hemophilia is caused by a recessive X-linked allele. 1/2 01 00 3/4 OC
A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color- blind woman of normal height. The man's father was six feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red- green color blindness is X- linked recessive. How many of their daughters might be expected to be color- blind dwsrfs? half one out of four three out of four none
A form of hemophilia is caused by a sex-linked (X-linked) recessive gene. A phenotypically normal woman whose father had hemophilia marries a phenotypically normal man with no family history of hemophilia. What is the probability that their first son will have hemophilia? 1/4 1 3/4 0 1/2
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive trait. The wife is hemophiliac, but the man has normal blood clotting. What is the probability that their SONS will be hemophiliac? 25% 75% 100% 50% 0%
young couple is planning to have children. The male is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease and homozygous dominant for Tay-Sachs. The female is homozygous recessive for Huntington’s disease and heterozygous for Tay-Sachs. The couple is curious about the possibility and probability of their offspring inheriting Tay-Sachs and/or Huntington’s. For humans, Huntington’s disease is dominant (H) over the “normal” condition (h), and the “normal” condition is dominant (T) over Tay-Sachs (t). Complete a Punnett square for this cross and record the percent probabilities for genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
A female has a family history of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a recessive sex- linked condition that is carried on the X chromosome. She does not have the disease. Her brother, sister, and father all have the disease, while her mother does not. She recently married a male with no family history of the disease. If they decide to have children, what percentage of their sons will have the disease? * O 0% O 25% O 50% O 100%
