Charles has achondroplasia dwarfism (autosomal dominant) but his wife is normal. What is the likelihood that they will have a child with achondroplasia dwarfism? What is the likelihood that they will have embryos that will die from achondroplasia dwarfism? Please explain.
Wilma and Wally have one male child who has been diagnosed withDuchenne muscular dystrophy, an X-linked condition that results insevere atrophy of skeletal muscle. Neither parent has this condition.What is the probability that their next child will have Duchenne musculardystrophy?
Huntington’s disease, is an incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affectsmuscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable inmiddle age. It results from an autosomal dominant gene (H) and there are no carriers ofthe disease. Two parents with Huntington’s disease have an affected child. What is theprobability that their next child will be an unaffected girl if they are not double-dominant?
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder where tumours form in the base layer of the skin or in nerve tissues. What is the probability that individuals II-1 and II-2 will have a genetic son with NF1? Find the image attached.
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.
If this is an autosomal recessive disorder, what is the probability that the first child of individuals III-1 and III-6 will be affected? 1
A 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?
The autosomal (not X-linked) gene for brachydactyly, short fingers, is dominant to normal finger length. Assume that a female with brachydactyly in the heterozygous condition is married to a man with normal fingers. What is the probability that their first child will be a brachydactylous girl? ¼ 1/2 1/8 3/4 2/3
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder where tumours form in the base layer of the skin or in nerve tissues. What is the probability that individuals II-1 and II-2 will have a son with NF1? Record your answer as a value between 0 and 1 rounded to two decimal places.
A patient has two parents with Huntington's disease. They may not have inherited this autosomal dominant disorder due to: 1) increased DNA repeats (CAG) during spermatogenesis 2) incomplete penetrance 3) inheriting one recessive allele
