Punnett Square Activity: Directions: You find out that having a thumb that can bend back (e.g. hitchhikers thumb) is a recessive trait in humans. Your female friend Anna, who has a hitchhikers thumb, is about to have a baby with a male partner, Jose, who does not have a hitchhikers thumb, although one of his parents does have hitchhikers thumb. Anna wants to know how likely it will be that her children will have a hitchhikers thumb. Use capital ‘H’ to represent the dominate allele and lower case 'h' to represent the recessive allele. 1. What are the genotypes of Anna and Jose? a. Anna b. Jose Hitchhiker's thumb No hitchhiker's thumb 2. Fill out the Punnett square below using Anna and Jose's genotypes: Anna's Genotype Jose's Genotype

Color-blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder. Under what circumstances will this condition manifest in a child? Top of Form If the child is a male and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its father has the recessive allele If the child is a female and its mother has the recessive allele If the child is a male and its father has the recessive allele
YOUR SISTER DIED FROM TAY-SACHS DISEASE, INHERITED AS A RECESSIVE ALLELE (t). you're married and planning to start your family. you're worried about the disease and decide to have genetic testing to see if you or your spouse is a carrier of the tay-sachs allele. the test results show that you're a carrier of the allele, but your spouse isn't. what is the probability that you and your spouse will have a child with tay-sachs disease? show your work.
Suppose a maternal effect gene exists as a functional dominantallele and a nonfunctional recessive allele that causes a disorder.A mother with the disorder produces offspring that are all withoutthe disorder. Explain the genotype of the mother.
Suppose a maternal effect gene exists as a functional dominantallele and a nonfunctional recessive allele. A mother who is phenotypically abnormal produces all normal offspring. Explain thegenotype of the mother
Geneticists are concerned about three different genetic conditions present within their family. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that results in short-limbed dwarfism. (A = achondroplasia allele; a = average height allele). Red-Green Color blindness is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder (Xc = color blindness allele; XC = normal color vision allele). The 7-year-old son has an autosomal recessive form of deafness. (h = deafness allele; H = normal hearing allele.) All three family members were karyotyped, and additional genetic testing was performed to determine the chromosomal location of the genes being studied. The figures below show the karyotypes of the mother and father with respect to the chromosomes containing the three genes mentioned above. Question: The couple’s 7-year-old son has all three of these genetic conditions (achondroplasia, color blindness and deafness). Taking into consideration the genotypes of his parents, what is the complete…
HITCHHIKER'S THUMB: The distal (last) joint of the thumb can be bent back to forma 45 degree angle with the proximal joint (attached to your hand) if you arehomozygous recessive (hh) for this trait.Michael has a well-developed hitchhikers thumb, but neither of his parents show thetrait. If his parents have another child, what is the probability that he/she will alsohave a hitchhikers thumb?
Consider a rare disease that is X-linked recessive. A normal man is married to a normal woman with no family history of the disease. They have an affected child. What can you deduce from this? Choose the most correct option. -The child is a carrier of the disease allele, and she is a daughter. -The child is a carrier of the disease allele, and he is a son. -Their child is a daughter. -The child is likely adopted. -Their child is a son.
D. In man, a certain type of deaf mutism is recessive. Let (D) be normal and (d) be deaf-mute. A normal, right-handed man married a normal, right-handed woman. They had a child who was a left-handed deaf-mute.
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?
Redgreen color blindness is an X-linked recessive disorder in humans. Your friend is the daughter of a color-blind father. Her mother had normal color vision, but her maternal grandfather was color-blind. What is the probability that your friend is color-blind? (a) 1 (b) (c) (d) (e) 0
Background Reminders: Dominant allele will express itself in the phenotype even when in combination with a different allele (recessive). Example: PP and Pp (purple flowers) Recessive allele does not express itself in the phenotype when combined with another allele (dominant) Example: pp (white flower) -> expressed only when recessive is by itself Problem 1- Autosomal Dominant: Widow’s peak (hairline) Having widow’s peak is a dominant trait (use W and w to represent alleles) A man who has a widow’s peak has a child with a woman that does not have widow’s peak. Their child does not have widow’s peak. What is the genotype of the father? _______________ B.) A man with widow’s peak (WW) has a child with a woman who does not have a widow’s peak.

SUBJECT: GENETICS Topic: Probability 1. Consider albinism a trait to occur in a human family. If two parents areheterozygous for such trait, the probability of having a normally pigmented child is 3//4 and having an albino child is ¼.
