Considering a common autosomal recessive trait: (Read each statement carefully. Select all of the statements below that are true (that you agree with). Leave any statements that are false (that you do not agree with) un- selected.) the unaffected biological siblings of an affected person should be heterozygotes. an unaffected woman and an affected man have at most a 100% probability of having a affected child. an affected person should have an affected parent. The unaffected offspring of an affected parent must be carriers.

F1 and F2 offspring with given genders and disease phenotypes. The data are generated from an initial parental cross. One parent displays the disease phenotype and one displays the wild-type (WT) phenotype. The WT parent always has a homozygous genotype. There are three possible modes of inheritance that underlie the generation of the data. All are monogenic. They are: (i) Autosomal Recessive. (ii) Homozygous Lethal Dominant. (iii) Autosomal Dominant. One's phenotype is determined by their genotype at the disease locus and the mode of inheritance, as we have seen with Punnett Square. on the F2 data and make a decision, based on your statistical analysis, as to whether you reject or do not reject the computer-generated model of inheritance as being consistent with the observed data. The mode of inheritance you are to test on the observed data is autosomal recessive. PARENTAL CROSS Parental cross: Father with disease phenotype, Mother with wild-type phenotype. F1 DATA Phenotype…

Mendelian Genetics and Non-Mendelian Genetics: Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Jillian is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Jacobwhose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibit sickle cell anemia. 1. Give the genotypes of Jillian and Jacob. Assuming that they will have 4 children, what is the probability that: 2. all their children will be normal? 3. they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? 4. they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions
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?

Please answer all of them, they are all connected. PEDIGREE ANALYSIS and SYMBOLOGY: Examine the pedigree which has X linked Dominant inheritance of disorder. Use letter X* (asterisk denotes disorder) as genotype of the individuals which can be XX, XY, X*X*, X*X and X*Y. a. What is the genotype of IV-6? b. What is the genotype of III-6? c. What is the genotype of II-3? d. What is the genotype of III-8? e. If couple I-1 and I-2 will have a son, what is the probability of having the disorder? f. If couple III-8 and III-9 will have another child, what is the probability of having the disorder? g. Theoretically, if individual IV-3 and individual IV-5 will marry and will have a child, what is the probability of having a child without the X-linked disorder?
Neo-Mendelian Genetics: Complete dominance and overdominance Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Mary is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Paul whose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibits sickle cell anemia. What are the genotypes of Mary and Paul? If they plan to have four children, what is the probability that: all their children will be normal? ____________ they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? ___________ they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions?____________
The most common form of colorblindness is a recessive, sex-linked hereditary con dition caused by a defect on the X chromosome. Females are XX, while males are XY. Individuals inherit one chromosome from each parent, with equal probability; for example, an individual has a 50% chance of inheriting their father's X chromosome, and a 50% chance of inheriting their father's Y chromosome. If a male has an X chromosome with the defect, he is colorblind. However, a female with only one defective X chromo some will not be colorblind. Thus, colorblindness is more common in males than females; 7% of males are colorblind but only 0.5% of females are colorblind. (a) Assume that the X chromosome with the wild-type allele is X+ and the one with the disease allele is X. What is the expected frequency of each possible female genotype: X+X+, X+X¯, and X-X-? What is the expected frequency of each possible male genotype: X+ Y and X-Y? (b) Suppose that two parents are not colorblind. What is the…
Red-green color blindness is inherited as a sex-linked recessive trait. The gene is found on the X chromosome. How can a man with normal color vision father a daughter who is red-green color-blind? Group of answer choices The man is heterozygous for red-green color blindness. The woman with whom he mates is red-green color-blind. He can't (unless there is a mutation). The man's mother carries an allele for red-green color blindness, and the expression of the trait skipped a generation.
