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 recessive gene. If 2 normal parents had a daughter with the symptoms ofthis disease, and a normal son, what is the probability that he might be acarrier of the recessive gene?Express answer in fraction form.
The X-linked gene responsible for DMD encodes a protein called dystrophin that is required for muscle function. Dystrophin protein is not secreted—it remains inthe cells that produce it. Given what you know aboutBarr body formation, do you think that females heterozygous for the recessive DMD disease allele could havethe disease in some parts of their bodies and not others?
Huntington disease is a rare dominant condition in humans that results in a slow but inexorable deteriorationof the nervous system. The disease shows what mightbe called age-dependent penetrance, which is to saythat the probability that a person with the Huntingtongenotype will express the phenotype varies with age.Assume that 50% of those inheriting the HD allele willexpress the symptoms by age 40. Susan is a 35-yearold woman whose father has Huntington disease. Shecurrently shows no symptoms. What is the probabilitythat Susan will show symptoms in five years?
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?

Strong Quote Int Paragraph Styles 4 Genetic Inheritance Patterns Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition. His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not Question below short answer approach image you are the genetics counselor, should Eric have children? Imagine he has a daughter (he has two, but both are adopted). What advice would you give Eric if his wife was a carrier from a genetics counseling viewpoint? Describe all the possibilities,…
