- John has alkaptonuria; it "runs in the family". John and his grandmother are both homozygous for alkaptonuria. John's grandmother has two brothers and a sister. One of the brothers had alkaptonuria and his daughter is John's mother. Based on this information, John's parents are:arrow_forwardEach member of a family of 5 has eye color that is a different shade of brown. The father's eyes are a very dark brown, while the mother's are a shade of golden brown. The 3 children have shades ranging from light to dark brown. What type of inheritance does this family's eye colors reflect?arrow_forwardComplete Punnett square based upon a cross between AO and OO blood types. (Hint: O is recessive.)arrow_forward
- A couple is going to have a baby. They are concerned about sickle cell anemia, which results from having the homozygous recessive combination of the sickle cell gene ("s"), which produces abnormal hemoglobin. Having at least one normal version of the gene ("S") results in normal hemoglobin. The woman is heterozygous, and so is the man. What alleles does mom have? What alleles does dad have?arrow_forwardYour brother has an autosomal recessive disorder, while you are unaffected. Neither one of your parents is affected. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward(You dont need an article or a website to answer the question) 1.On October 30, 2020 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported that the daily COVID-19 data showed there were 1.2 new infections per second and that the daily death rate was one death every 107 seconds. Answer the following questions. Show all your calculations and write a sentence about your conclusion: A.Use the CDC data to calculate the total number of daily infections on October 30th.

- Unattached earlobes (E) are dominant over attached earlobes (e) [Figure (a) and (b)]. If a woman with unattached earlobes and a man with attached earlobes have children, what percentage of their children has the possibility of having unattached earlobes if the mother is homozygous for the trait?arrow_forwardTwo healthy parents have a child who is later diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. What is the genetic term for this kind of disease? Using Mendel’s pattern, pick a letter for this gene and give the genotypes of the parents and the child. What are the odds that their next child will also have cystic fibrosis?arrow_forwardFor each genotype, indicate the phenotype: The freckles allele (F) is dominant to the no freckles allele ( f). The attached earlobes allele (E) is dominant to the unattached earlobes allele (e). ff _______________ Ee _______________ FF _______________ EE _______________ Ff _______________ ee _______________arrow_forward
- Alex is newly pregnant with twins and curious about everything about her developing children. Her doctor was able to tell her that her twins are dizygotic twins via ultrasound. In your essay, describe the difference between monozygotic and dizygotic twins and explain how each is conceived. Alex is also wondering about the genetics of her children and how they will act when they are older. Offer an explanation of genotype and phenotype and provide an example of each specific to Alex’s future children being dizygotic twins. Finally, in your previous explanation be sure to also describe how most traits are both polygenic and multifactorial and how that may influence her twins’ phenotypes.arrow_forwardplease dont copy other answers and give your own answer. i will dislike if you dont follow what i saidarrow_forwardMake sure to show if it is big (Y) or little (y) Big (S) or little (s) it is so hard to understand if you write it in paper.
