Cystic fibrosis is a recessive human condition. A male with Cystic fibrosis and a woman with a dominant phenotype have sevral children, in which one displays Cystic fibrosis. What can you conclude about the genotype of the maternal parent and what is the probability that a child who does not display Cystic fibrosis is heterozygous?

Human sex chromosomes are XX for females and XY for males. a. With respect to an X-linked gene, how many different types of gametes can a male produce? b. If a female is homozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele? c. If a female is heterozygous for an X-linked allele, how many different types of gametes can she produce with respect to this allele?
Assume that color blindness is a recessive character on the X chromosome. A man and woman with normal vision have the following offspring: a daughter with normal vision who has one colorblind son and one normal son; a daughter with normal vision who has six normal sons; and a color-blind son who has a daughter with normal vision. What are the probable genotypes of all individuals?
A WOMAN IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR TWO HARMFUL RECESSIVE ALLELES IN DIFFERENT CHROMOSOMES, ONE FOR PHENYLKETONURIA (PKU) AND THE OTHER FOR CYSTIC FIBROSIS (CF). SHE MARRIES AN UNAFFECTED MAN WHO IS A CARRIER FOR NEITHER DISEASE. IF SHE HAS A DAUGHTER, WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT THE CHILD WILL CARRY NEITHER OF THE RECESSIVE ALLELES? EXACTLY ONE? BOTH?
an unaffected woman who is heterozygous for the x linked allele causing duchenne muscular dystrophy has children with a normal man. What is the probability that their first child is an unaffected daughter and their second child is an affected son?
A man who is an achondroplastic dwarf with normal vision marries a color- blind woman of normal height. The man's father was 6 feet tall, and both the woman's parents were of average height. Achondroplastic dwarfism is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive. They have a daughter who is a dwarf with normal vision. What is the probability that she is heterozygous for both genes? а. 0% b. 25% c. 50% d. 75% е. 100%
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?
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), marked by muscular degeneration, results from an X- linked recessive gene. Thus, a female who is heterozygous for this gene and does not have the disease can be a carrier. What kind of offspring can you expect from a DMD-affected male and a carrier female? Can there be a carrier male?
A man with blood type O (genotype ii) has a father with blood type A and a mother with blood type B. Is this man a legitimate child of these parents? What is a possible phenotype of an individual that results from a woman with type AB blood and a man with type B blood? Explain with diagrams.
Hypophosphatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of phosphates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters, but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children. Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Draw Punnett squares to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios.
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?
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.
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?
