In humans, differences in the ability to taste phenylthiourea are due to two autosomal alleles at a single locus. Inability to taste is recessive to ability to taste. A child who is a nontaster is born to a couple who can both taste the substance. What is the probability that their next child will be a taster? 3/8

An allele responsible for Marfan syndrome Section 13.4 is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. What is the chance that a child will inherit the allele if one parent does not carry it and the other is heterozygous?
In addition to the allelic pair determining pattern baldness in man (B,b), consider early baldness to be due to another autosomal allele (E) on a different pair of chromosomes and also dominant in males but recessive in females. The phenotype for ee may be late or nonbaldness depending on sex and the genotype for B, b alleles. Two doubly heterozygous persons marry. What is the phenotype of the male parent? What is the phenotype of the female parent? Give the phenotypic ratio expected among male children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio. Give the phenotypic ratio expected among female children of couples such as this one. Show corresponding genotypes for each phenotype mentioned in your phenotypic ratio.
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.
Two autosomal genes (A and B) are located 16 m.u. apart. A male (produced by gamete Ab fertilizing gamete aB) has children with a female that is homozygous recessive (aabb). What is the probability of producing a son with genotype AaBb?
If a heterozygous female mammal with a sex-linked dominant allele for a non-lethal disorder marries anormal man, what proportion of their children will exhibit the disorder?
(a) Enter the parent phenotypes and complete the Punnett square Inheritance of sex linked recessive tralts Example: Hemophilia Female paront phenotype Inheritance of hemophilia is sex linked. Males with the recessive (hemophilia) allele, are affected. Females can be carriers.

BIU A- == 三E 12 - Match each of the following examples to the appropriate type of non-Mendelian inheritance. 1. A homozygous recessive genotype for the gene that encodes phenylalanine hydroxylase (which breaks down the amino acid phenylalanine) causes lighter skin color, a musty odor, differences in intellectual development, and seizures. 2. In pea plants, alleles of Gene W control flower color, with the dominant allele (W) leading to purple flower.color, and the recessive allele (w) leading to white flower color. Usually, a genotype of WW or Ww leads to purple flowers. However, when Gene C is homozygous recessive, WW or Ww plants always have white flowers. 3. In mallard ducks, feather coloring is controlled by Gene F. A dominant allele (F) leads to green head feathers, while a recessive allele (f) leads to brown head feathers. In male mallards, inheritance of one or more F alleles always leads to the green head feather trait. But female mallards always have brown head feathers,…
Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by a lack of ⍺-glucosidase, the enzyme that converts glycogen to glucose in the muscles. Babies born with this disorder die by the age of two. Pompe disease is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of two recessive autosomal alleles. A man and a woman heterozygous for the condition have two female unaffected children. Determine the probability, expressed as a whole number percentage, of a third baby being born a male with Pompe disease. Your answer must include the use of a Punnett square as well as a legend indicating the allele symbols used. (2 marks)
Sickle cell anemia is a blood disorder that is expressed with incomplete dominance. The homozygous recessive phenotype has sickle shaped red blood cells that cause anemia and often death if untreated. If an unaffected father and mother move to the United States from Sub-Saharan Africa and several of their offspring have sickle cell anemia, what do we know about both parents' genotypes? One is homozygous recessive, the other is heterozygous They are both heterozygous They are both homozygous recessive One is homozygous dominant, the other is heterozygous
Albinism and sickle cell anemia are both autosomal recessive disorders that are expressed only in the homozygous state. Two parents who are carriers for both albinism and sickle cell anemia plan to have a child. What is the probability that the child will have exactly one of the conditions? 3/8 7/16 O 1/16 O 1/4 9/16
Whyte type canaries are yelllow. A dominant mutant allel of the color gene, designated W causes white feathers. Inheriting two dominant alleles is lethal to the embryo. If a yellow canary is crossed to a white canary, what is the probability that an offspring will be yellow? What is the probability that it will be white? [ autosomal special condition]
In Drosophila, the genes for body coloration and eye size are on different chromosomes. Normal-colored bodies are dominant to ebony-colored (very dark) bodies, and normal-sized eyes are dominant to eyelessness. Line A is true breeding for normal bodies and normal eyes, whereas line B is true breeding for ebony bodies and eyelessness. From an F2 cross between lines A and B, what fraction will have exactly one of the recessive traits? O 1/16 3/16 3/8 9/16 5/8
