- Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance. It can also be used to help identify individuals within a family who may be at risk for the trait. Adam and Sarah, a young couple of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, went to a genetic counselor because they were planning a family and wanted to know what their chances were for having a child with a genetic condition. The genetic counselor took a detailed family history from both of them and discovered several traits in their respective families. Sarahs maternal family history is suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern of cancer predisposition to breast and ovarian cancer because of the young ages at which her mother and grandmother were diagnosed with their cancers. If a mutant allele that predisposed to breast and ovarian cancer was inherited in Sarahs family, she, her sister, and any of her own future children could be at risk for inheriting this mutation. The counselor told her that genetic testing is available that may help determine if this mutant allele is present in her family members. Adams paternal family history has a very strong pattern of early onset heart disease. An autosomal dominant condition known as familial hypercholesterolemia may be responsible for the large number of deaths from heart disease. As with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, genetic testing is available to see if Adam carries the mutant allele. Testing will give the couple more information about the chances that their children could inherit this mutation. Adam had a first cousin who died from Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), a fatal autosomal recessive condition most commonly found in people of Eastern European Jewish descent. Because TSD is a recessively inherited disorder, both of his cousins parents must have been heterozygous carriers of the mutant allele. If that is the case, Adams father could be a carrier as well. If Adams father carries the mutant TSD allele, it is possible that Adam inherited this mutation. Because Sarah is also of Eastern European Jewish ancestry, she could also be a carrier of the gene, even though no one in her family has been affected with TSD. If Adam and Sarah are both carriers, each of their children would have a 25% chance of being afflicted with TSD. A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you decide to have a child if the test results said that you carry the mutation for breast and ovarian cancer? The heart disease mutation? The TSD mutation? The heart disease and the mutant alleles?Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

A simple blood test performed on both Sarah and Adam could determine whether they are carriers of this mutation. Would you want to know the results of the cancer, heart disease, and TSD tests if you were Sarah and Adam? Is it their responsibility as potential parents to gather this type of information before they decide to have a child?Pedigree analysis is a fundamental tool for investigating whether or not a trait is following a Mendelian pattern of inheritance.

- What is the contribution of Mendel to geneticsPhotography booths that claim to produce pictures of what a male or female child of any given couple will look like are beginning to appear in arcades throughout the country. A couple enters the booth, a camera takes their pictures, and then a computer program analyzes and blends the morphologies of the two people to produce images of a male child and a female child they might create. In genetic terms, why will the couple be wasting their money if they buy these computer images? (Respond in at least 2 paragraphs)A company that offers PGD terms an embryo “normal and healthy” if it has 46 chromosomes. Why is this statement misleading? , Two famous male actors had twins using a surrogate mother who carried two embryos that hadbeen fertilized in vitro, one with one man’s sperm and the other with the other man’s sperm. In terms of genetics, how closely are the babies, a boy and a girl, related to each other if they have different fathers?
- Discuss how Mendel’s monohybrid results served as the basis for all but one of his postulates. Which postulate was not based on these results? Why?explain the Mendelian Laws of genetics.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).
