Acatalasia is caused by a rare autosomal recessive gene. In heterozygous condition catalase activity is decreased slightly. A woman with a normal catalase activity have a husband with low catalase activity. What is the probability of children birth without anomaly in the family, if grandparents from both sides have reduced activity of catalase? Diagram the cross and mention the genotypes of all individuals in the family?

Given the karyotype shown at right, is this a male or a female? Normal or abnormal? What would the phenotype of this individual be?
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?
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is a disorder that affects the normal function of red blood cells and can eventually lead to anemia. The trait is controlled by a recessive allele found on the X chromosome. An affected son was born to a man and woman who were unaffected. The woman's mother was affected while the father was normal. Indicate the gene notation. Give the genotypes of the affected boy's parents. Derive the genotypic and phenotypic ratios for the offspring. Show and label your solutions properly. What is the probability that they will have a phenotypically normal daughter as their first child? а. b. С. d.

The following pedigree follows the inheritance pattern of sickle cell anemia (b) in a family. What is the sex, genotype, and phenotype of individual II-5? 1 II 2 3 5 2 3 4 5 Unaffected female, Bb Unaffected male, bb Affected male, bb Affected female, Bb Unaffected male, BB
Porphyria is a genetic disorder caused by the inability to properly metabolize a component of hemoglobin. King George III is suspected to have been afflicted with this disorder. Assume that both George and his Queen suffered from this disorder and they had one afflicted child and one normal child. Is porphyria inherited in a dominant or recessive fashion? What must be the genotype of both George and his Queen? Using punnett square, show ALL work used to achieve your answer.
Below is a pedigree chart for a family that has a history of Alkaptonuria. Individuals infected with this condition can have darkened skin, brown urine, and can suffer from joint damage and other complications. Given this pedigree answer the following questions. Given the data in the pedigree chart is this genetic condition autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive? What are the genotypes for #1, #2, and #3? If either of the 4th generation "aa" females were to mate with a homozygous dominant male would any of their offspring illustrate the phenotype? Why or why not?
Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child? Show ALL work using punnett squares.
The gene for polydactyly (P) is autosomal and dominant to normal fingers (p). Hemophilia is sex-linked and recessive (X h ). A man and his wife both of whom are polydactylous and have normal red blood cells have a child who is non-polydactylous and with hemophilia. What are their genotypes?
In mice the autosomal genotype yy is for gray fur, YY is for brown fur and Yy is for yellow fur. What is the ratio of offspring from the cross between a brown mouse and a yellow mouse? ABO blood groups, an autosomal trait, in Humans are genetically determined. A woman with type O blood has a son with type O. What are the possible genotype(s) of the son, his mother and possible father? Mother: Father: Son: Polydactylism (extra digits) is due to a dominant autosomal allele, what is the likelihood that a couple with the normal number of digits have a son with polydactylism? Flower color in snapdragons is due to a gene with incomplete dominance: CRCR plants have red flowers, CRCW have pink flowers, and CWCW plants have white flowers. Which cross is expected to yield progeny that all have pink flowers? A couple is expressing a child, the man has hemophilia (a sex-linked blood disorder due to a recessive allele) and the woman is a carrier…
Hemophilia is caused by an X-linked recessive mutation in humans. If a man whose paternal uncle (father's brother) was a hemophiliac marries a woman whose brother is also a hemophiliac, what is the probability that their first child will have hemophilia? (Assume that no other cases of hemophilia exist in the pedigree.) 1/3 0 1/8 0 1/4 1/2
Hemophilia is a recessive sex-linked trait in humans. Sickle-cell anemia is a recessive trait on an autosome. A couple are both carriers of the sickle-cell trait. The man and woman are normal, but the woman is a carrier for hemophilia. How many of their male children would you expect to have both sickle-cell anemia and hemophilia? How many of their female children would have both conditions?
