The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a disease due to a completely penetrant sex-linked mutation. Indicate which of the following statements are true. (A) The probability the son indicated by the question mark will have the disease is 1/2. (B) The mutant allele is on the Y chromosome. (C) The mutant allele is recessive and on an autosome. (D) The mutant allele is dominant and on an autosome. (E) The mutant allele is dominant and on the X chromosome. (F) The probability the son indicated by the question mark will have the disease is 1/4. (G) The probability the son indicated by the question mark will have the disease is 1/3. (H) The mutant allele is recessive and on the X chromosome.

The maternal-effect mutation bicoid (bcd) is recessive. Inthe absence of the bicoid protein product, embryogenesis isnot completed. Consider a cross between a female heterozygousfor the bicoid mutation (bcd+/ bcd-) and a homozygousmale(bcd-/ bcd-). How is it possible for a male homozygous for the mutationto exist?
The autosomal (not X-linked) gene for brachydactyly, short fingers, is dominant to normal finger length. Assume that a female with brachydactyly in the heterozygous condition is married to a man with normal fingers. What is the probability that(a) their first child will have brachydactyly?(b) their first two children will have brachydactyly?(c) their first child will be a brachydactylous girl?
In 1995, doctors reported a Chinese family in whichretinitis pigmentosa (progressive degeneration of theretina leading to blindness) affected only males. Allsix sons of affected males were affected, but all of thefive daughters of affected males (and all of thechildren of these daughters) were unaffected.a. What is the likelihood that this form of retinitispigmentosa is due to an autosomal mutationshowing complete dominance?b. What other possibilities could explain the inheritance of retinitis pigmentosa in this family? Whichof these possibilities do you think is most likely?
Consider two hypothetical recessive autosomal genesa and b, where a heterozygote is testcrossed to a doublehomozygousmutant. Predict the phenotypic ratios underthe following conditions:(a) a and b are located on separate autosomes.(b) a and b are linked on the same autosome but areso far apart that a crossover always occurs betweenthem.(c) a and b are linked on the same autosome but are soclose together that a crossover almost never occurs
In a maternity ward, four babies become accidentallymixed up. The ABO types of the four babies are known tobe O, A, B, and AB. The ABO types of the four sets ofparents are determined. Indicate which baby belongs toeach set of parents: (a) AB × O, (b) A × O, (c) A × AB,(d) O × O
In humans, one of the genes determining color vision islocated on the X chromosome. The dominant form (C )produces normal color vision; red-green color deficiency(c) is recessive. If a man with normal color visionmarries a color-deficient woman, what is the probabilityof them having a color-deficient son? A color-deficientdaughter?
a. The pedigree follows the inheritance of a relatively common trait. Is the trait most likely autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, or X-linked recessive? Explain your reasoning. b. If the couple marked with a “*” had another child, what is the probability that it would be an affected daughter? (Note: this is a compound outcome.)
A husband and wife have normal vision, although both of theirfathers are red–green color-blind, inherited as an X-linked recessivecondition. What is the probability that their first child willbe (a) a normal son, (b) a normal daughter, (c) a color-blind son,(d) a color-blind daughter?
