Pedigree Analysis Is a Basic Method in Human Genetics Using the pedigree provided, answer the following questions. a. Is the proband male or female? b. Is the grandfather of the proband affected? c. How many siblings does the proband have, and where is he or she in the birth order?
Help me create a pedigree of this information: Pedigree analysis: Generation 1: Normal parents (AA x AA) Generation 2: Carrier parents (AA x AS) Generation 3: Affected child (AS x AS) Generation 4: Affected grandchild (SS) This pedigree has two normal parents in the first generation. Second generation carriers carry the sickle cell trait from one parent. The disease is 25% more likely to be inherited in the third generation if both parents have the 'S' allele. If both parents have the 'S' allele, their children will have sickle cell anemia in the fourth generation
Below in Figure 1 is a pedigree for a family afflicted by a genetic disorder. In some populations, Cystic fibrosis has an incidence of 1 in 2500 newborns. The carrier frequency calculated from this is 1/25. Analyze the pedigree below assuming the disease is similar to cystic fibrosis in incidence and carrier frequency. However this disease may not have the same type of genetic transmission as cystic fibrosis. Assuming her father is known to NOT be a carrier, calculate the probability that IV1 is a carrier for disease. Use the Χ2 test to determine whether your proposed transmission fits this data.
I don't really understand how to solve this question. For part a, I think my approach would be to find the genotypes of the parents first, and find the genotype of the F1. For part B, I would like to get some clarifications on the difference between linked genes with no crossing over vs. unlinked genes when approaching Punnett square type questions. Thank you also answer part a and b
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?
n the space below, use colored pencils to create a pedigree with the following information. Follow the guidelines for a pedigree when creating this one. Ray and Elaine were married in 1970. They both had normal vision. They had 2 daughters and then a son. Both daughters, Alicia and Candace, had normal vision and never had any children of their own. The son, Mike, was colorblind. The son married Beth who also had normal vision and they had 2 children of their own, first Greg then Victoria. Victoria was colorblind, but Greg was not. Colorblindness is a sex-linked recessive trait. Do not forget what shapes are male and female. Place the names and genotypes of the people under their shape. Color your individuals the following: Red- for colorblindness White-for regular vision Blue- for individuals with regular vision but are carriers Green- unknown genotype
The following pedigree traces the inheritance of a certain genetic disease in a family. The circles represent women and the squares represent men. Individuals with darkened shapes have the disease, while individuals with white shapes do not. The lines indicate the relationship between individuals, either through marriage or by birth. Study the chart and then answer the questions that follow. One of the people on the chart is labeled with the letter A. Which of the following statements correctly describes this person's status in the pedigree? This person does not have the disease, but this person married someone with the disease, and one of the couple's daughters has the disease as well. This person does not have the disease, but this person's father and one of this person's sisters do. This person has the disease and has two daughters with the disease.
In a paternity suit, a woman with type O blood claims that a man with type AB blood is the father of her type O baby. List the genetypes of the mom, man, and baby. Can the woman prove he is the father or can he is not? Why or why not? If the accused man was type A insyead of type AB, what would be his possible genotypes? Could the woman prove he is the father? Can the man prove he is not the father? Why or why not?
In this case a family history revealed a genetic basis for the disorder. The pedigree is shown in Fig. 1 Below.

A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele. Use the below pedigree chart and your knowledge on how to interpret a pedigree chart to answer questions # 7-9. 1 Nn nn nn 3 nn 7. Is individual #1 most likely homozygous dominant or heterozygous? Explain how you can tell. 8. What is the genotype of individual #2? Explain how you can tell. 9. What is the genotype of individual #3? Explain how you can tell. 2)
Determining a karyotype is an important clinical method for diagnosing genetic disorders. Explain why it is useful for diagnosing monosomies and trisomies.
My Question is what is the probability their first child will have hemophilia and drawn pedigrees for family members with genotypes. My explantion so far: A man has both X and Y chromosomes as sex chromosomes in his body. Here, though the brother of the man is hemophiliac, a man can’t be a carrier of hemophilia. So, it can be said that his chromosome is “XnY”.Here, the “n” stands for “normal”.Though the paternal uncle is hemophiliac, a man cannot be a carrier of hemophilia, his niece will not be a career. So it can be said that the woman is also not a carrier and has the “XnX” chromosome.So, as the mother is not a carrier, their first child does not have a chance of having hemophilia. This can be determined as it is known that there is no hidden carrier of hemophilia in the family.
