1. Armin and Annie are going to have a baby. Annie has dimples in her cheeks (a dominant trait), while Armin does not. You know that Annie's father has dimples in both cheeks, while her mother does not. Her mother must have the recessive trait. Annie's father has the dominant trait, but you don't know if he is a homozygote or heterozygote. But you still know what Annie's genotype must be because Annie must have a recessive allele since that is all she could have inherited from her mother. Since Annie has a dimple you know she inherited a dominant allele from her father. What are the chances Armin and Annie's baby will have dimples? Determine the Phenotype and Genotype and its probability.

A couple who wishes to have children visits you, a genetic counselor. There is a history of a deleterious recessive trait in males in the womans family but not in the mans family. The couple is convinced that because his family shows no history of this genetic disease, they are not at risk of having affected children. What steps would you take to assess this situation and educate the couple?
Part B 1. For the remaining characteristics, you will be looking at homozygous and heterozygous traits. Each trait will be determined to be homozygous recessive, homozygous dominant, or hetero- zygous. Letters representing the alleles will be given to you; the uppercase letter is always dominant and the lowercase letter is always recessive. If both dice rolled are even numbers, it indicates homozygous dominant alleles; if both are odd, it indicates homozygous recessive alleles; if one is odd and the other even, it indicates heterozygous alleles. 2. Eyebrows: Use the alleles "A" and "a" for this trait. Two separate brows are the dominant trait, whereas the unibrow (or one continuous brow) is recessive. 3. Eye shape: Use the alleles "R" and "r" for this trait. Round eyes are the dominant trait; almond shaped eyes are recessive. 4. Hitchhiker's thumb: Use the alleles "H" and "h" for this trait. Straight thumbs are dominant; Hitchhiker's thumbs (the curving upward of the thumb) are…
Armin and Annie are going to have a baby. Annie has dimples in her cheeks (a dominant trait), while Armin does not. You know that Annie's father has dimples in both cheeks, while her mother does not. Her mother must have the recessive trait. Annie's father has the dominant trait, but you don’t know if he is a homozygote or heterozygote. But you still know what Annie’s genotype must be because Annie must have a recessive allele since that is all she could have inherited from her mother. Since Annie has a dimples you know she inherited a dominant allele from her father. What are the chances Armin and Annie’s baby will have dimples? Determine the Phenotype and Genotype and its probability. Show your solution in a clean sheet of paper.
1. Mary and Joe are both healthy individuals. Joe has a mother who suffered from cystic fibrosis, an autosomal recessive disorder. Mary has been genetically tested in order to find out if she has the allele responsible for this disease and her tests came out positive. They are planning on having two children together in the near future. What is the probability that she and Joe will have either 2 boys who have the disorder, OR that they have one boy who has the disorder and one boy who does not? (in other words, what is the probability that any of these two outcomes takes place? a) 1/8 b) 1/16 c) 3/32 d) 1/64 e) 9/64
8) Rusty and Honey recently had a puppy named Bandit, but it has not been a happy occasion for them. Honey has been upset since she first saw her new puppy who has a long tail. Honey claims that the animal hospital made a mistake and mixed up her puppy with someone else's puppy. Rusty is homozygous for his short tail, while Honey is heterozygous for her short tail. Some members of her family have long tails, which is the recessive trait. Create a Punnett square using S for the dominant gene and s for the recessive one. (4) a) Fill in the Punnett square, then list the possible genotypes and phenotypes for the puppies. b) Did the animal hospital make a mistake? Explain your answer.
4. Mr. Salazar has Type A blood while Mrs. Salazar has Type B. They have four children. Bobbie has Type A, Gabbie has Type B, Alex has Type AB, and Teddie has Type O. What are the genotypes of all six people in this family? NOTE: The ABO blood type gene has three alleles. IA and IB are codominant; i (for Type O) is recessive to both.
f you have a recessive phenotype for a given trait, but neither of your parents has that phenotype, what can you say about the genotype of your parents for that trait? Both of your parents have to be hetorozygous One of your parents might be homozygous dominant but the other has to be hetorozygous Both of your parents must be homozygous dominant Both of your parents have to be homozygous recessive
Having a widows peak is dominant W to not having one (ww)Having attached earlobes is a recessive trait (ee)- Jack and Jill are heterozygous for both traits.What's the probability of them having a child with a widow's peak and attachedearlobes?
1. Red-green colorblindness is caused by a recessive allele (x) at an X-linked gene, and albinism is caused by a recessive allele (a) at an autosomal gene. A phenotypically normal woman (Sara) has a father who is colorblind, and she knows that she is a carrier for albinism. She plans to have a child with a colorblind man (Abdul) who is also a carrier for albinism. What is the probability that Sara and Abdul's child will have one of the conditions, but not both? (C. Follow the steps below to answer this question. a) What is the cross? b) What are the target genotypes? Note: it might be useful to come back to this one and double- check it after you have completed step c, below. Break this down to the single gene level by answering the following questions: a. What is the proportion of normal to albino offspring? Show the Punnett square: b. What is the proportion of normal to colorblind offspring? Show the Punnett square: d) What is the probability that Sara and Abdul's child will have one…
1. Red-green color blindness is an X-linked recessive trait in humans. Polydactyly (extra fingers and toes) is an autosomal dominant trait. Martha has normal fingers and toes and normal color vision. Her mother is normal in all respects, but her father is color blind and polydactylous. Bill is color blind and polydactylous. His mother has normal color vision and normal fingers and toes. Bill and Martha are married and about to have a child. a. Draw out a pedigree for all people mentioned in this problem. Fill in the left side of the box for anybody who is colorblind and fill in the right side of the box for anybody who is polydactyl. b. Determine the genotypes of Bill and Martha (it should look something like XBYDD) c. What is the probability that they will have a colorblind son with normal fingers?
