Question
Assignment Objectives:
When given a family’s genetic history, deduce the genotypes for specific
family members.
•Describe the inheritance and expression of various genetic disorders found in humans.
•Determine how genetic screening and counseling can be used to help
counsel individuals dealing with lethal genetic disorders in their family.
Read through each scenario and answer the following questions:
a. Determine the genotypes of all individuals discussed in each
scenario in addition to yours, your partners’, and your unborn child.
For example, “You remember your partner telling you that their father
died at an early age of Huntington’s disease.”
In this case you would need to determine your partner’s father’s genotype.
b. Determine what probability your unborn child will inherit the
disorder (be sure to include a Punnett square)?
i. If you are unable to determine your child’s chance of inheriting
the disorder what additional information do you require?
c. Are you worried about your or your partner’s risk of inheriting the disorder (this is particularly a concern for Huntington’s disease and
Marfan Syndrome)?
Scenario
Your father is red-green colorblind, and you are wondering if this could
affect your child’s ability to see colors. Although your father has lead a
productive life, you want to know what the chances are your own child will
also be red-green colorblind.(there is no history of colorblindness in your
partner’s family, there is no history of color blindness in you mother’s family, the outcome of this scenario will depend if you are a male or female.)

- PRACTICE QUESTIONS: Please show your work on Punnett squares wherever required. GENETICS 1. Name the scientist sometimes described as the "pioneer" of genetics. 2. Define the following terms: a) genotype b) phenotype d) dominant e) recessive c) allele 1. In humans normal thumbs (T) are dominant over hitch-hiker thumbs (t). A homozygous normal thumbed female is crossed with a male with hitch-hiker thumbs. What are the genotype and phenotype ratios of the F1 generation? Of the F2 generation? 2. In guinea pigs black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). Short hair (S) is dominant over long hair (s). If heterozygous female is crossed with a guinea pig with white and heterozygous short fur, what will be the phenotype ratio of the F1 generation? 3. Japanese four-o-clock's are an example of a plant that displays incomplete dominance. Plants can have red flowers (R) or white flowers (W). The heterozygous condition results in pink flowers.
