Shown below is a pedigree for Phenylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive
A) What is the probability that individual II-1 is heterozygous for this gene?
B) What is the probability that individual III-4 is heterozygous for this gene?
C) If individuals III-3 and III-4 were to marry, what is the probability that their child would express PKU?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder.
Autosomal recessive trait characteristics:
Two copies of the recessive allele must be present to Express in the phenotype. It is passed down to both males as well as females from the parents. It is not sex linked , means it is not related to single sex.

- What is the Characteristic pedigree for mitochondrial disease?arrow_forward1. The figure below shows a pedigree examining the presence of a genetic disorder across multiple generations of a family. Based off this figure, answer the following questions prompted: || IV 3 9 10 5 2 C 6 11 T 7 12 8 15 13 16 14 17 d) What is the genotype for individual #4 in this family pedigree? ||| c) Why are no family members identified as a carrier of this genetic disorder? Figure Key a) Using the figure key provided, identify which members of this family are affected by this genetic disorder in each generation. (Be sure to include sex and generation number for each individual identified). b) Is this an autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or sex-linked genetic disorder? Explain. Unaffected Female Unaffected Male Affected Female ||| Affected Male Female Carrier Male Carrierarrow_forwardAs a graduate student, you join a lab and you are looking through some old notebooks. You find a linkage map someone has drawn. G--15 mu-----T----10 mu-------B If you plan to complete a test cross with a GtB/gTb male, A) What are all of the expected progeny genotypes? B.) How many of each genotype would you expect if you collected 1000 progeny?arrow_forward
- In humans, one type of red-green colorblindness (n) is sex-linked and recessive. A) A woman who is a carrier marries a man with normal vision. What is the chance of having color-blind daughters? Color-blind sons? B) A heterozygous woman and a color-blind man marry. What is the chance of having color-blind daughters? Color-blind sons?arrow_forwardSickle cell anemia is a recessive trait in humans. In a cross between a father who has sickle cell anemia and a mother who is heterozygous for the sickle cell allele, what is the probability that both of their first two children will be affected? A) none B) 1/16 C) 1/8 D) ¼ E) ½arrow_forwardStacey and Rishi are expecting fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. Stacey and Rishi have normal vision, but both of their fathers are colour vision deficient (CVD, a X-linked recessive trait). a) Draw a pedigree for their family b) Complete a Punnett square to show the cross between Stacey and Rishi. c) What is the probability that the baby will be a girl with CVD? d) What is the probability that the baby will be a boy with normal vision?arrow_forward
- The three genes X, Y, and Z are linked on an autosomal chromosome in humans (X to Y is 15 cM, and Y to Z is 18 cM). If an individual that is heterozygous at all three loci (XYZ/xyz) has children with an individual that is homozygous recessive at all three loci (xyz/xyz), what is the probability that they will have a child that is phenotypically identical to either parent (X-Y-Z- or xxyyzz)? Assume there is no genetic interference to double crossover events at this site.arrow_forwardWhich of the 6 modes is this pedigree and why? 1) Autosomal Dominant 2) Autosomal Recessive 3) X-linked Recessive 4) X - linked Dominant 5) Y-Linked 6) mt-Linkedarrow_forwardAn unaffected woman for a human disorder marries and unaffected man and they have children. This results in 3 affected sons, and one unaffected daughter, which ends up having children later on with an unaffected man and has 2 affected sons. A) Draw a simple pedigree diagram for this family, including a legend. B) What is the likely mode of inheritance of this trait: Please explain C) Provide the genotypes of the original mother and the daughter. Use a capital letter for the dominant allele and lowercase letter for the recessive allele. D) If one of the affected sons from the original marriage marries a 2nd cousin that is a carrier of this trait and has children, what is the probability that they will have 3 affected sons?arrow_forward

In the following pedigrees for two families, the affected symptomatic individuals (black circles and squares) have been diagnosed with this disease due to the mutation in mitochondrial DNA m.14484T>C. If III.4 is homoplasmic for m.14484T>C in hair, blood, urine and other tissues examined. What will occur with IV.7 then?arrow_forwardDuchenne muscular dystrophy is an inheritable disorder that results in muscle weakness, leading to walking and breathing difficulties and heart disease. Which of the following is a valid conclusion about the Duchenne muscular dystrophy pedigree shown above? a. Without further evidence, the genotypes of individuals II-2 and III-2 cannot be determined. b. Only individuals I-1 and II-3 are confirmed carriers of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy allele.arrow_forward
