Lorenzo has a double row of eyelashes (MIM 126300) which he inherited from his mother as a dominant trait. His maternal grandfather is the only other relative to have it. Fatima, who has normal eyelashes, marries Lorenzo. The first child, Nicola (girl) has normal eyelashes. Now Fatima is pregnant again and hopes for a child with double eyelashes. What chance does the child have of inheriting double eyelashes? Draw a pedigree of this family.

Inheritance and Mendelian Genetics

Inheritance means the passing of traits to offspring from parents. These traits could be passed either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction. The offspring receives the genetic material from the parents. Mendelian inheritance is a certain biological inheritance that follows the rules and principles laid down by Gregor Mendel in 1865. The initial hypothesis was considered wrong, but other inheritance theories modified the concept of inheritance and thus genetics.

People with polydactyly have more than five fingers or toes on their hands or feet. Polydactyly results from an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Draw a pedigree for a family with polydactyly, using the following information: Zack has polydactyly but his wife, Zoe does not. Zack and Zoe’s daughter Yolanda has polydactyly but their son Yogi does not. Yolanda has two children with her husband, Xavier, who does not have polydactyly: Wilma, who is normal and Wade, who has polydactyly. Use your pedigree to determine what is Zoe's genotype.

Situation: Guinevere decides to trace the inheritance of her blood type through her family, all the way back to her great-grandmother Natalia. Guinevere's great-grandmother Natalia, has type A blood. Natalia and her husband Claude have five children-three sons, Miguel (who has blood type A), Mark (who has blood type B) and David (who has type AB blood); a daughter (Jane) with type O blood and another daughter (Janella) with type A blood. Jane marries a man and they have two sons (Marco and Polo) who both are blood type A and a daughter (Mara) who has blood type B; Janella on the other hand marries a man and together have three sons (one with blood type A, one with AB, and one with O). Miguel marries a woman with type O blood and together they have three children (daughter Frances and son Albert who both have type A blood, and a son Mike with type O blood). Mike marries Johann and together they have one daughter, Guinevere. Guinevere knows that her parents both have the same blood type,…
Bryan has albinism, an autosomal recessive trait, which means he is homozygous recessive for albinism and his genotype is aa. Bryan's parents, Frank and Amy, do not have albinism however they must both be heterozygous. Bryan's sister, Allice, is a carrier for albinism. If Allice has offspring with Jim, who has no family history of albinism, what are the chances that their offspring are carriers for albinism? What are the chances that they children will get albinism? Use Punnett squares.
Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait. A male hemophiliac and phenotypically normal female have a son with hemophilia. They would like to have one more child.

Adenike and her partner, Debare, are expecting their first child. Adenike is healthy as are her two sisters but her brother has PKU, a recessive disorder of the PAH gene. Genotypically he must be pah-/pah-. Neither of Adenike's parents has PKU but both of her grandmothers did. Debare is a carrier of Sickle Cell trait, which means he has one allele for wildtype hemoglobin (HbA) and one allele for Sickle Cell (HbS), making him HgA/HbS. More importantly, he has two alleles for Marfan Syndrome, a pleiotropic dominant disorder that can affect up to 30 different traits (M+/M+). No one in Debare's family has ever had PKU and no one in Adenike’s family has ever had Sickle Cell or Marfan Syndrome. They consult a genetics counselor over concern of the health of their baby. The genetics counselor collects the medical histories of three generations; their grandparents, their parents, and them. In her calculations, she produces a phenotypic key that indicates M = Marfan, Hb = sickle cell, and pah-…
