Part 1 - High School BluesEvan and Alexia had been happily married for seven years and had a delightful five-year-old son named Ryan. Oneday, while going through his old high school biology textbook, Evan stumbled on some troubling information. In thesection on the genetics of eye color, he read that two blue-eyed parents cannot produce a brown-eyed child. This wasdisturbing to him because both he and Alexia had blue eyes, but Ryan had brown eyes.He and Alexia were very much in love and Evan didn't believe his wife had been unfaithful. Puzzled, he questioned hiswife, who confirmed she had been faithful to him. Evan had known Alexia long enough to recognize when she waslying and detected nothing but honesty in her response.What is going on? 5. If Evan has blue eyes, what genotype (which two alleles) is he likely to have?6. If Alexia has blue eyes, what genotype (which two alleles) is she likely to have?7. Draw a Punnett square showing the genotype of all the possible children this couplecould have. Based solely on this information, what is the likelihood that Ryan is theirchild?8. Assuming that Alexia has been unfaithful, what is (are) the possible genotype(s) of theman who is Ryan's biological father?9. Assuming that Alexia has been faithful, suggest as many hypotheses as you can toexplain Ryan's phenotype.

Part 1 With use of Punnett diagrams discuss how the results of experiments carried out by Austrian monk Gregor Mendel on pea plants brought about the Law of Dominance, the Law of Segregation, and the Law of Independent assortment. Part 2 In humans, the gene that produces the disease Sickle Cell Anaemia is recessive to the gene for healthy haemoglobin production. a) How can two phenotypically healthy parents have a child who suffers from Sickle cell Anaemia? In your answer use suitable letters to show the genotypes of the parents and construct a Punnett diagram to show all the possibilities of the children's genotypes. b) Based on the outcome of your Punnett diagram, state and explain the probability of a child being a sufferer of Sickle Cell Anaemia and the probability of a child not suffering from the disease. c) If an individual who suffers from Sickle cell disease has a child with someone who is healthy (and not carrying the sickle cell gene), what is the probability that the child…

Red-green color blindness is inherited as an X-linked recessive (Xc). If a color-blind man marries a woman who is heterozygous for normal vision, what would be the expected phenotypes of their children with reference to this character? In your answer, specify in your phenotype descriptions the gender of the children. (For example, don’t just say 75% of the children would be colorblind – you would instead say 100 % of the daughters would be colorblind and 50% of the sons would be colorblind. Note that this is not a correct answer; it is just to give you an idea of how to explain the correct phenotypes of the cross.)___

Part 1: Make a three part process drawing (like a cartoon strip) to demonstrate Mendel's Principle of Segregation. Use two parents with homologous chromosomes marked with alleles "A" and "a". Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes (indicate when this happens), and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring Part 2: Use the cross Aa x Aa and a Punnett square to demonstrate Mendel's Principle of Segregation. Circle and label these three action parts of the Principle of Segregation: a) parents are diploid, b) alleles separate to form haploid gametes and c) gametes from each parent combine at random to form diploid offspring.

A couple enters your genetic counseling clinic for some family planning advice. The woman’s father was color blind, but her own vision is normal. The man has no family history of color blindness. Neither the man nor woman have any known history of hemophilia, but their first child (a boy) has hemophilia. They ask you to calculate the chance that their nextchild will be affected by one or both conditions. You remember from your genetics training that these are both X-linked recessive conditions and that they are closely linked: in fact, their genetic loci are separated by only 10cM! During the interview with this couple, you draw the following pedigree to represent their information. Given what you know, determine for this couple what chance they have of each of the following (in the table).

In man, muscular dystrophy is a condition in which the muscles waste away during early life and may result in a shorter life expectancy. It is due to a sex-linked, recessive gene. A certain couple has five children – three boys (ages 1yr, 3yrs, and 10yrs old) and two girls (ages 5yrs and 7yrs old). The oldest boy shows the symptoms of this disease. You are their family physician and they come to you for advice. What would you tell them about the chances of their other children developing the disease?
Mendel describes subjecting each of the 34 varieties of peas he obtained to a two-year trial. During this time he let the plants self-fertilize and observed their offspring. What was he looking for, and what was the purpose of doing this two-year trial? Explain what Mendel means when he writes that the 3:1 ratio observed in the first generation from the hybrids "resolves itself" into a ratio of 2:1:1
