Shoshana and Darius both have a family history of two genetic disorders - sickle cell anemia (use A and a for alleles) and PKU (use B and b). Both are autosomal recessive. Shoshana and Darius are not afflicted by either disease but have parents that are. Darius' mom has PKU and his dad has sickle cell anemia. Shoshana's dad has both sickle cell and PKU, but her mom has neither. Answer the following questions relating to this information it it uns at the incorrect answer) 1. What are Shoshana and Darius' genotypes 2. What is the chance their first child will not be afflicted by either disease? 3. What is the chance that their second child will have only one disease? (this means the child could have either sickle cell or PKU)

Another couple is concerned their child will be born with sickle cell anemia. The woman does not have sickle cell anemia. The woman’s mother had sickle cell anemia and her father was a carrier of the sickle cell gene. The man knows that he is not a carrier of the sickle cell gene. What is the probability that the child will be a carrier of sickle cell anemia? please include a punnett square
Sickle cell anemia is caused by an individual carrying two recessive copies of the hemoglobin gene (hemoglobin gene is labeled Hb, and the recessive version is Hbs). Thus, to have sickle cell anemia, a person must have the genotype HbSHbS. A person that is HbAHbA carries two copies of the normal hemoglobin gene and does not have sickle cell anemia. A person that is heterozygous (HbAHbS) produces enough normal hemoglobin to not have sickle cell anemia but is also resistant to malaria. People that are heterozygous are called “carriers” because they carry the recessive allele but do not express the recessive phenotype. a. A couple are both resistant to malaria but do not have sickle cell anemia. Draw a Punnett square to represent this cross. b. What is the probability that the couple has three children where one child does not have a recessive allele, one child is resistant to malaria and does not have sickle cell anemia, and one child has sickle cell anemia?
Alice has type A blood and her husband Mark has type B blood. Their first child, Amanda, has type O blood. Their second child, Alex, has type AB blood. What is Alice's genotype?
In a well-publicized paternity case, the following facts were determined: the mother, a beautiful, twice-convicted axe murderer, is blood type A. Her child, Lizzie, is type O and the alleged father, a mild-mannered felon convicted of check fraud, is type B. On the last day of the trial, another father – a missionary worker with blood type O is identified. Which of the two could be Lizzie’s father? Use the space below to support your conclusion. I am really confused with the queshtion and need help finding the answer and how to prove can somone explain the answer and show it in a punnet sqaure please
Sickle-cell disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. How many mutated hemoglobin alleles do people with sickle-cell disease have?
A mother is heterozygous for the X-linked gene for colorblindness and also heterozygous for the autosomal inherited sickle cell anemia. She is married to a man who can see color normally and who is heterozygous for sickle cell trait. Using b (colorblind), B (normal color), S (normal hemoglobin), s (sickle cell), answer the following: a. What are the genotypes of the parents? b: What is the probability of having a child who is both color blind and has sickle cell anemia?
Alice has type A blood and her husband Mark has type B blood. Their first child, Amanda, has type O blood. Their second child, Alex, has type AB blood. What is Mark'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,…
Suppose a woman who is a carrier of sickle-cell trait (making her a heterozygote) has children with a man who is totally healthy and does not carry the gene for sickle-cell trait at all. Which one of the following is true about their potential children? (Draw a Punnett square on scratch paper if it helps you.) A) None of their children will have sickle-cell disease. B) All of their children will have sickle-cell disease. C) All of the couple's children would be heterozygous carriers like the mother.
Hemophilia is an X-linked disease associated with the inability to produce specific proteins in the blood-clotting pathway. Shown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflicted with the disease are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passing on the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbol above) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family 4.Assuming that the woman in the couple is a carrier, what is the probability that the couple’s first son will have hemophilia?
For the Y-linked gene, use T for hypertrichosis. For X-linked genes, use the letters H for blood trait and E for eye trait. Krisha, a carrier of the genes for hemophilia and colorblindness, is married to Kyle who is color blind, having normal red blood cells. Veronica (Krisha & Kyle's daughter), turned out to be a carrier for both genes. Julian has hypertrichosis and is married to Josie. Both do not exhibit any allele for color blindness and never had any history for hemophilia. Bernard (Julian & Josie's son) will be married to Veronica. What are the complete genotypes of the following persons: a. Krisha b. Kyle c. Veronica d. Julian e. Josie f. Bernard g. Josie & Bernard's baby
Sam was found to be heterozygous for sickle-cell (Ss) trait. The alleles represented by the letters S and s are
