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?
If the frequency of the homozygous dominant genotype is 0.49, what is the frequency of the homozygous recessive genotype?
In genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify? Choose 1 answer: Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) A Homozygous; two dominant alleles (Choice B) B Homozygous; two recessive alleles (Choice C) C Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele (Choice D) D Homozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele
Consider the following scenario: A man without freckles (freckles are a dominant trait, determined by the dominant allele “F”) is a carrier of cystic fibrosis (recall that CF is a recessive trait, determined by the recessive allele "a"), mates with a woman whose genotype is heterozygous for freckles and is also a carrier of CF. Assume the two genes in question are in different chromosomes and, therefore, assort independently. Complete the following Punnett square to generate the offspring probabilities from this couple, by entering the genotypes of the parents, the gametes, and the offspring for the two traits described above.

1. A) Apply the concept of sex linkage to explain why color blindness is more prevalent in men than in women. B) Mary is concerned that she may be a carrier for hemophilia, a sex-linked condition located on the X chromosome. Mary is married to John, who doesn't have hemophilia. Assuming Mary is a carrier, what are the genotype ratios expected for Mary and John's kids (specify for boys and for girls)? C) Mary and John have 2 boys, none of them has hemophilia. Can we use this fact as proof that Mary does not carry the allele for hemophilia? Explain your argument.
Give the genotypic frequencies expected under the Hardy–Weinberg law for (a) an autosomal locus with three alleles and (b) an X-linked locus with two alleles.
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by two copies of a mutated CFTR gene. If one in 100 (hypothetical scenario, not reality) people in the United States have cystic fibrosis, calculate the p and q frequency for the normal allele (p) and the mutated allele (q). Based on those calculations, what percentage of individuals would be expected to be homozygous dominant?
What is the frequency of the aa genotype if the frequencies of AA and aa are 0.19 and 0.36?
If the frequency of the aa genotype is 19%, what is the frequency of the AA genotype? Assume that there are only two alleles (i.e. a and A).
