A man is a homozygous for a disease. He marries a woman who is heterozygous for the disease. A son and a daughter were born to them. The daughter has the disease but the son is only a carrier. Their daughter then marries a man who is normal for the disease. Two daughters who both have the disease were born to them. What are the genotypes of all of them?

In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting (H) is dominant to the allele for hemophilia. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the probable genotype for each member of the family?
In humans, the allele for normal blood clotting, H, is dominant to the allele for hemophilia, h. This is a sex-linked trait found on the X chromosome. A woman with normal blood clotting has four children: a normal son, a hemophiliac son, and two normal daughters. The father has normal blood clotting. What is the genotype for each member of the family?
a) A woman who is type A has a daughter who is type O. Give the genotypes of both the mother and of the daughter. b) The mother claims a man who is type B is the father. Is that possible?
In a paternity case, a single mother claimed that a certain man was the father of her baby. The man denied it claiming that her current boyfriend was the father. The court ordered a blood test (cheaper than DNA testing) to see if he could be ruled out as the father. The mother was Type O and the baby was Type O. The man was Type AB. What is the possible genotype of the biological father? heterozygous Type A homozygous Type A heterozygous Type B
PKU is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. If a woman and her husband, who are both carriers (heterozygotes) for the disorder, have three children, what is the probability of each of the following? a) All three children are of normal phenotype. b) All three children have the disease. c) Any 2 of the three children have the normal phenotype.
Julie (a female) has hemophilia. Based on this information, what can we say about the genotypes of her parents? If Julie has children with a normal male, what is the chance that her sons have hemophilia? What is the chance that her daughters have hemophilia? A condition called Alport syndrome is caused by a dominant X linked allele. Males who have this condition usually have kidney failure, while females who are heterozygous for the condition have blood in the urine, but usually do not have kidney failure. A male has this condition and has children with an unaffected female What percent of his daughters will show any of the symptoms? What percent of his sons will show any of the symptoms?
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?
Mary and Ron don't have albinism. However, is it possible for them to have a child with albinism? Explain. Stephanie has normal color vision. Her husband Chris also has normal color vision. They have a son that is color blind and a daughter that has normal color vision. What is the genotype of the mother, father, son and the daughter? Andy and Anne do not have polydactyl. Is it possible for them to have a child with polydactyl? Explain. When examining a pedigree chart, I notice that only males are affected. What does this tell me about the inheritance pattern? A man with blood type A marries a woman with blood type B. Their child has blood type O. What are the genotypes of the parents?
Consider a couple: a woman who is homozygous for a recessive mutation that causes X-linked colorblindness, and a man with full color vision (he does not carry a copy of the mutation). a) What is the probability that a son of this couple will be colorblind? b) What is the probability that a daughter of the couple will be colorblind?
Grandma Jade is affected with tuberous sclerosis, she grows benign tumors, and the trait is under control with her doctors. She is married to Grandpa Phil, who does not have the trait. Out of their four children, only one, Michael, has tuberous sclerosis. Complete the Punnett Square and indicate their genotypes.
a) A woman who is type A has a daughter who is type O. Give the genotypes of both the mother and of the daughter. b) The mother claims a man who is type B is the father. Is that possible? Explain. c) The accused man can prove that both of his parents are type AB. Is it possible for him to be type B? If so, what is his genotype? d) Does the answer in part c change the answer in part b?
For a recessive condition, two normal heterozygous individuals have children. What is the likelihood of their children being affected by this condition? What is the likelihood of their children being carriers without the condition? What is the likelihood of their asymptomatic children being carriers? Suppose that an individual with the condition has children with a heterozygous individual, what is the likelihood of their children being carriers?
