Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Suppose a woman who is homozygous for Huntington's disease has 12 children? We would expect __________ of them to have the disease. A mother who is heterozygous for the Huntington's disease gene wants to have a baby with a man who is also heterozygous for the gene. What is the likelihood their baby will not have Huntington's disease?

Answer 2 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a sex-linked recessive disorder characterized by a progressive loss of muscle tissue. Neither Carla nor Rudy has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but their first son does have it. What can you say about Rudy's or Carla's genotype in relation with the disorder? If the couple has a second child, what is the probability that he or she will also have the disease? Show your answers with a Punnet square.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive trait (a). Assume that Emily (who has CF) decides to have children with a man who does not have CF and who is not a carrier of CF. What are their genotypes, and what is the probability that they will have a child who is a carrier for CF?

Huntington's disease is characterized by late onset mental deterioration and is invariably fatal. It appears to be caused by an autosomal dominant gene. A man with Huntington's disease (heterozygous) marries a normal woman and they have 5 children. What risk does each child have of contracting the disease? Write the full punnett sqaure equation showing ALL steps used to achieve your answer.
Earlobes can be attached to the face or non-attached. An attached earlobe is a recessive trait. A female with attached earlobes (Il) has a child with a man with non-attached earlobes. He is heterozygous for this trait. Questions: a. What are the possible genotypes of the egg the woman can produce? b. What are the possible genotypes of the sperm the man can produce? c. What is the genotype ratio for the offspring? d. What is the phenotype ratio for the offspring? e. What is the couple's chance of having a child with attached earlobes?
Suppose gene B is X-linked and is embryonically lethal when homozygous or hemizygous recessive. A man marries a woman who is heterozygous for this gene. They want to have three kids – one girl and two boys. Using a Punnett square, answer the following: What is the probability that they will have a son that dies before birth? _______________________ What is the probability that they will have a daughter who has the same genotype as her mother? _________________ One of their daughters eventually has a child with a man. One of their sons dies before birth. What was the genotype of this daughter? _______________________________ please show me how to get the answer and explain how you got and use a punnet square
Mark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with painful complications. His spouse has not experienced symptoms of sickle cell anemia but their first child developed the disease. What conclusions can be drawn about the mother's genotype and the probability of having a second child with the condition? Answer Choices: A: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 25% percent chance of having another child with the disorder B: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 50% percent chance of having another child with the disorder C: her genotype is heterozygous and there is a 75% percent chance of having another child with the disorder D: she lacks the allele for sickle cell anemia in that she lacks symptoms of the disease. There is a 0% percent chance of having another child with the disorderMark has an autosomal recessive condition called sickle cell anemia, a serious blood disorder that is associated with…
