- A prospective groom, who is unaffected, has a sisterwith cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disease.Their parents are unaffected. The brother plans to marrya woman who has no history of CF in her family. Whatis the probability that they will produce a CF child? Theyare both Caucasian, and the overall frequency of CF inthe Caucasian population is 1/2500—that is, 1 affectedchild per 2500. (Assume the population meets the Hardy–Weinberg assumptions.)Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait. A three-generation pedigree is shown below for a family that carries the mutant allele for cystic fibrosis. Note that carriers are not colored in to allow you to figure out their genotypes. Normal allele = F CF mutant allele = f What is the genotype of individual #8?Cystic fibrosis is a homozygous recessive condition that affects 1 in 10,000 of the Hispanic populationin the United States. Calculate the frequency of the dominant allele, the frequency of the recessiveallele, and the percentage of heterozygous individuals (carriers) in the Hispanic population.Frequency of thedominant alleleFrequency of therecessive allele% homozygous dominant% homozygous recessive% heterozygous
- In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.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?Below in Figure 1 is a pedigree for a family afflicted by a genetic disorder. In some populations, Cystic fibrosis has an incidence of 1 in 2500 newborns. The carrier frequency calculated from this is 1/25. Analyze the pedigree below assuming the disease is similar to cystic fibrosis in incidence and carrier frequency. However this disease may not have the same type of genetic transmission as cystic fibrosis. Assuming her father is known to NOT be a carrier, calculate the probability that IV1 is a carrier for disease. Use the Χ2 test to determine whether your proposed transmission fits this data.

- Albinism is a recessive autosomal trait for skin pigmentation. Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessivedisorder of the blood. assign alleles to the traitsA – normal skin pigmentation X H – normal blooda – albino X h - hemophilia A double heterozygous woman marries a non-hemophilic man and heterozygous for skinpigmentation. Double heterozygous means heterozygous for both traits. Aa for skin pigmentation andX H X h for blood trait. Therefore, the genotype of the woman is AaX H X h . Non-hemophilic man is X H Y and heterozygous for skin pigmentation is Aa. The genotype,therefore, of the man is AaX H Y. What is the probability that they will have:a. a child with normal skin? _____________________b. a child with normal blood? _____________________c. an albino girl? _____________________d. A hemophilic boy? _____________________The Turner Kieser Syndrome (or nail patella syndrome) is a dominant human disease (prevalence about 1/100.000), which impairs the normal development of, nails and kneecaps (patella). In the following study the mutant allele for this gene is noted "M" and the wild type allele "m". On the family tree below black symbols (circles for women and squares for men) indicate people suffering from KSS and open symbols represent healthy persons.
