Albinism in humans is heritable condition resulting in the inability to produce the pigment melanin, which is responsible for hair, eye and skin coloration. The allele for the albino condition is recessive to the allele for melanin production. What is the probability of two heterozygous parents producing a family of two normal children and one albino child?

F. 9. If a man who is heterozygous marries a woman who is homozygous recessive, what would you predict for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? Can a man and a woman who both suffer from hypercholesterolemia have children who do not have the disease? Explain your answer. Can a man and a woman have children with hypercholesterolemia if neither of them has the disease. Explain your answer. Hr homorgo

9. A true-breeding blue-flower, wrinkled-seed, short-stem, yellow-leaf plant was crossed with a true-breeding red-flower, round- seed, long-stem, green-leaf plant and all of the progeny had the following phenotype: purple-flower, round seed, short-stem, approximately half of the leaves on the plants were yellow and the other half green. Assuming a single gene controls each trait, describe the inheritance pattern for each gene. Inheritance Pattern a. Gene Flower color Seed shape Stem length Leaf color

8.     Huntington’s disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system that strikes in middle age. The allele that causes the disease (H) is dominant to the allele that results in the normal condition (h). Answer the following questions about the inheritance of this disease. A.     What is the genotype of a man who is normal but whose father had Huntington’s disease?   B.     What is the genotype of a woman who has Huntington’s disease if both of her parents had Huntington’s disease?   C.     If a man who is heterozygous for Huntington’s disease marries a woman who is normal, what would you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children? D.     If a normal man marries a woman who is homozygous for Huntington’s disease, what do you expect for the genotypes and phenotypes of their children?

Additional problems (Chapter 4 (Extension of Mendelian Inheritance): 1. In rabbits, coloration of the fur depends on alleles of the gene c. From information given in the chapter, what phenotypes and proportions would be expected from the following crosses: a) CC X cc b) Cc x Cc c) Cc x Ccch d) cc x cc 2. From the information given in the chapter about the ABO blood types, what phenotypes and ratios are expected from the following matings: a) type AB x type O b) Type AB x type B individual whose mother is type O c) Type O x Type A individual whose father is type O d) Type Ox type O 3. A woman with type AB blood type gave birth to a baby with type B blood. Two different men claim to be the father. One has type A blood and the other type B blood. Can the genetic evidence decide in favor of either? 4. You have been studying a trait that seems to be present in every generation within a particular family. Further, you have observed that every affected offspring has at least affected parent…

1. In the pedigree below, Use "A" for the allele associated with the dominant phenotype, and lowercase "a" for the allele associated with the recessive phenotype. Determine what is the most likely mode of inheritance of this disease (whether it is inherited as the result of an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait). Write the most probable genotype for each individual based on the mode of inheritance you have determined. Show how all the partners are crossed and the expected offspring produced (You may use Punnett Square) 1 dró || IV

A turkey farmer is worried about a new disease that is found in his birds. If affects females more than males. Which of the following is(are) reason(s) that explain this finding? The disease is sex linked b The disease is autosomal recessive  c The disease is located on the Z chromosome d A and C e B and C

1. Hemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? Use a punnet square. 2. A phenotypically normal man, who has a hemophiliac brother, marries a normal woman, who is not a carrier. What is the probability that any of their children will be hemophiliac? Use a punnet square. 3. Color-blindness is an X-linked, recessive trait. If a normal-sighted woman, whose father was color-blind, marries a colorblind man, what is the probability that they will have a son who is color-blind? Use a punnet square. 4. A man and woman, both of normal vision, have:  1) a color-blind son (#1) who has a daughter of normal vision  2) a daughter (#1) of normal vision who has one color-blind son and one normal vision son  3) another daughter (#2) of normal vision who has five sons, all with normal vision  What are the probable genotypes of the…

4. Mr. Salazar has Type A blood while Mrs. Salazar has Type B. They have four children. Bobbie has Type A, Gabbie has Type B, Alex has Type AB, and Teddie has Type O. What are the genotypes of all six people in this family? NOTE: The ABO blood type gene has three alleles. IA and IB are codominant; i (for Type O) is recessive to both.

b. What is the probability that the mating of Fifi with the described male will produce a kitten affected with the disease? Please help
