Concept explainers
Using the pedigree below, determine whether the alleles B or C have a dominant or recessive relationship, which allele is dominant, and the genotype for individuals I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, II-4, and II-5. Use B or C for the alleles and X for unknown alleles.
Note: White squares/circle indicate normal
Let B be the allele for the affected condition and C lor the normal condition. Recessive condition is Expressed in only homozygous condition.In a recessive condition the unaffected parents can give rise to the affected children irrespective of the gender.

- 1 A B C 5 D 6 7 8 9 10 11 Which of the following best describes the genotype of parents in the pedigree? Female with Long Hair Female with Short Hair Male with Long Hair Male with Short Hair The mother is heterozygous for the long-hair allele, and the father is homozygous for the long-hair allele. The mother is heterozygous for the long-hair allele, and the father is heterozygous for the long-hair allele. The mother is homozygous for the long-hair allele, and the father is homozygous for the long-hair allele. The mother is homozygous for the long-hair allele, and the father is heterozygous for the long-hair allele. Submitarrow_forwardDraw the following pedigree and identify the mode of inheritance (only identify by shading individuals who express the trait). Please provide the genotype for each individual. Remember if you cannot identify whether an individual is TT or Tt please use the T- annotation: The grandmother expresses the trait and the grandfather does not. The first daughter does not express the trait and marries a man who does not express the trait. The second daughter does not express the trait and marries a man who does not express the trait. The son of the first daughter and her husband expresses the trait. The second son of the first daughter and her husband does not express the trait. The second daughter and her husband have twin daughters that do not express the trait.arrow_forwardplease use punnett squaresarrow_forward

Dwarf allele: __________ Normal sized allele: __________arrow_forwardIn flies, eye color is a sex-linked trait. Red eyes are dominant (XE) and white eyes are recessive (X). Consider the following 2 cases: 8) The female fly has white eyes and the male fly has red eyes. Figure out the percentage or ratio of possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring. Construct a Punnett Square first. Possible genotypes: Possible phenotypes: XE XE: Red Eyes: XE X°: Xe X°: XE Y: White Eyes: Xe Y: 751°Farrow_forwardPEDIGREE: Shaded individuals in the pedigree have a genetic disease. Individuals marrying into the family, that is individuals II–1, II–4 and II–6, have no history of the disease in their families.1. Determine the mode of inheritance ______________________________2.

- Please help answer question 1 What would a pedigree of Greg and Olga’s families look like? Concentrate simply on family relationships and aff ected persons.arrow_forwardGiven the pedigree below, answer the following questions. Note that filled symbols represent affected individuals. You assume that the allele carrying the disease is rare and therefore individuals marrying into the family are unlikely to have defective alleles. Also, assume complete penetrance. Q2) What are the genotypes of the following individuals listed in the table below? Use the uppercase “A” to represent the dominant allele and lowercase “a” for the recessive allele. Individual Genotype II-7 III-5 IV-1 IV-3 I-2 III-7arrow_forwardBelow is a pedigree chart for a family that has a history of Alkaptonuria. Individuals infected with this condition can have darkened skin, brown urine, and can suffer from joint damage and other complications. Given this pedigree answer the following questions. Given the data in the pedigree chart is this genetic condition autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive? What are the genotypes for #1, #2, and #3? If either of the 4th generation "aa" females were to mate with a homozygous dominant male would any of their offspring illustrate the phenotype? Why or why not?arrow_forward
- You are trying to find a blood donor to help treat some of your patients. The C-yonce and Kay-Z have 3 children with blood types A , B, and O. The youngest with blood type O needs a transfusion and you're trying to figure out if either of the parents are a match so you test the parent genotypes. Note: Alleles for each blood type are expressed as follows: blood type A= I^A blood type B= I^B blood type O= i Hint: Remember that 2 alleles contribute to a persons blood type. Pay attention to dominant and recessive relationships among the alleles. 1-C-yonce is type B. What must her genotype be? 2-What must Kay-Z’s genotype be? 3-Which parent can give blood to their child ? 4-After running lab tests, it was discovered that the children's blood types were reported incorrectly.(This does not affect the genotypes entered for C-yonce and Kay-Z in the previous questions.) Their youngest actually has blood type AB, and still needs a blood transfusion. Which parent can donate blood to the child…arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer the next question.
