Huntington’s disease, is an incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affectsmuscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable inmiddle age. It results from an autosomal dominant gene (H) and there are no carriers ofthe disease. Two parents with Huntington’s disease have an affected child. What is theprobability that their next child will be an unaffected girl if they are not double-dominant?
In individuals affected by cystic fibrosis, salt crystals may appear afterperspiration dries up. In addition, the disease causes respiratory disorderswhich can be both debilitating and lethal. It occurs in individuals homozygousfor the recessive gene. Two normal parents had a daughter with thesymptoms of this disease, and a normal son who marries a normal womanwith an afflicted A test (salt concentration in perspiration of heterozygotes ishigher than normal) disclosed that both are indeed carriers of the gene. If thefirst child born to the mating in (b) was defective, what is the probability thatthe 2nd child would also be defective?Express answer in fraction form
SQ5 Two people are considering having children, but they each have family members that died of a rare recessive autosomal disorder. For the man, it was his brother and for the women, it was her mother’s sister (her aunt). What is the probability they will have an affected child?
6. A person is simultaneously heterozygous for two autosomal genetic traits. One is a recessive condition foralbinism (alleles A and a); this albinism gene is foundnear the centromere on the long arm of an acrocentricautosome. The other trait is the dominantly inheritedHuntington disease (alleles HD and HD+). TheHuntington gene is located near the telomere of oneof the arms of a metacentric autosome. Draw all copies of the two relevant chromosomes in this person asthey would appear during metaphase of (a) mitosis,(b) meiosis I, and (c) meiosis II. In each figure, labelthe location on every chromatid of the alleles forthese two genes, assuming that no recombinationtakes place.
1 pts The pedigree below shows the expression of Huntington's disease in a family. Huntington's disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person's physical and mental abilities usually during their prime working years and has no cure. Huntington's is inherited as a dominant allele (H).

The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed.

Aav AaBbCc Normal No Spacing Heading 1 Paragraph Styles In man, two abnormal conditions, cataracts (C) in the eyes and excessive fragility (F) in the bones, seem to depend on separate dominant genes located on different chromosomes. Normal vision and normal bones are recessive traits. A man with cataracts and nomal bones, whose father had normal eyes, married a woman free from cataracts but with fragile bones. Her father had normal bones. 11. What is the genotype of the man with cataracts and nomal bones? What is the genotype of the woman with normal vision and fragile bones? What type of offspring might this couple expect? Genotypes Phenotypes What is the probability that their first child will, (a) be free from both abnormalities (b) have cataracts but not fragile bones (c) have fragile bones but not cataracts (d) have both cataracts and fragile bones? lili

What is the genotype of a man who has migraine headaches if his mother did not have them? If a woman without migraines marries a man who is heterozygous for migraines, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? If two people who are heterozygous for migraines marry and have children, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of the children.
