- A WOMAN IS HETEROZYGOUS FOR A TRAIT CAUSED BY A DOMINANT ALLELE THAT SHOWS 75% PENETRANCE. HER PARTNER IS UNAFFECTED. WHAT IS THE PROBABILITY THAT, IF SHE HAS A CHILD, IT WILL BE AFFECTED? (HINT: WHAT'S THE CHANCE SHE WILL PASS THE ALLELE ON TO HER CHILD AND THAT THE CHILD WILL SHOW THE TRAIT?)arrow_forwardIf this is an autosomal recessive disorder, what is the probability that the first child of individuals III-1 and III-6 will be affected? 1arrow_forwardHemophilia, disease in which the blood lacks a clotting factor, is caused by an X linked recessive gene. Joe doe not have hemophilia and Lucille is heterozygous for the condition. What is the chance that their MALE child will have hemophilia? (Note: you are calculating the probability for their MALE children only, in other words if they have 1 male child, what is the probability that he will be born with the disease?) 0% 1/4 or 25% 2/4 or 50% 3/4 or 75% 4/4 or 100%arrow_forward
- Albinism (lack of skin pigmentation) is caused by an autosomal recessive allele. A man and woman, both normally pigmented, have an albino child together. For this trait, what is the genotype of both parents? Options Below: homozygous recessive homozygous dominant heterozygous hemizygous unknown, because not enough information is providedarrow_forwardA couple can both see red (a sex-linked trait). The allele responsible for red color-blindness is recessive on the X-chromosome. The woman is a carrier for this condition. What are the likely genotypes of this couple? What is the probability of the couple having a daughter who is red colorblindarrow_forwardHemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder that results in an individual not having a functional gene for a clotting factor and therefore unable to clot blood. A couple has 4 boys. One of the boys has just been diagnosed with hemophilia. What is the probability that all of the other 3 boys will also have hemophilia?arrow_forward
- In autosomal dominant inheritance patterns, the trait is present in every generation. True Falsearrow_forwardA woman with Huntington’s disease (autosomal dominant trait, and she is heterozygous) has children with a healthy man. What proportion of their children will inherit Huntington’s disease?arrow_forwardA homozygous mother has retinoblastoma, a dominant sex-linked disorder carried on the X chromosome. The father does not have this disorder. What is the chance they will have a child with this disorder? 1) 0% 2) 25% 3) 50% 4) 75% 5) 100% 身arrow_forward
