A pedigree analysis was performed on the family of a man with schizophrenia. Based on the known concordance statistics, would his MZ twin be at high risk for the disease? Would the twins risk decrease if he were raised in an environment different from that of his schizophrenic brother?
Pompe disease is a glycogen storage disorder caused by a lack of a-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.

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.
Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S. How many offspring will be affected by the disorder if the mother is a carrier, and the father appears to be normal? (Include the gender) a. b. How many will become carriers? (include the gender) A- 三三三四四 II !!
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.
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
Hemophilia is a disease inherited as a X-linked recessive trait while pattern baldness is controlled by an autosomal gene that is dominant in males and recessive in females. A hemophilic man who is also homozygous for baldness has children with a woman who carries normal genes for both traits. What is the probability that any of their child will be: a. Hemophilic, normal-haired male b. Hemophilic, bald male c Female with normal blood clotting and bald Note: Show how you derived your answers.
Sickle cell anemia is a human genetic disorder caused by an autosomal recessive allele. A couple plan to marry and want to know the probability that they will have an affected child. With your knowledge of Mendelian inheritance, what can you tell them if (1) each has one affected parent and a parent with no family history of SCA or (2) the man is affected by the disorder but the woman has no family history of SCA?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a disorder caused by a recessive allele. Two carrier individuals have progeny. Answer the following questions in order and show solutions whenever relevant. a. Indicate the gene notation.b. Derive the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios.c. If they have a normal child, what is the probability that he or she will be heterozygous?d. If they have three children, what is the probability of having 2 affected children and one normalchild?
Huntington’s disease, a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that typically becomes noticeable in middle age, is due to an autosomal dominant allele. Sickle cell anemia, on the other hand, is a genetic blood disorder due to a recessive allele. Mary is a carrier of the allele for sickle cell anemia but has no sign of any neurodegenerative disorder in her family. She married Paul whose father died of Huntington’s disease. His mother, however, is not inflicted with that condition. Neither of his parents exhibits sickle cell anemia. What are the genotypes of Jane and Paul? If they plan to have four children, what is the probability that: all their children will be normal? _________________________________ they will have a son with Huntington’s disease? _________________________ they will have a daughter inflicted with both conditions?________________
Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele unless otherwise indicated. Assume complete penetrance. I II 5 6 III 6 IV 1 2 a. Is it possible for the inheritance pattern for the trait illustrated in this pedigree to be as a result of each of the following? Answer yes or no. (i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR) (ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD) (iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR) (iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Provide a genotype for individual III-6 for the most likely mode of inheritance as determined in (a).
