Question
Two parents who do not have color blindness have a daughter who has only one X chromosome and is color-blind (this genotype is written XO since she is missing an X). Color blindness is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner.

- 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.arrow_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_forwardIn humans, red-green color-blindness is a recessive X-linked trait. A man with red-green color- blindness marries a normal-vision woman whose father was color-blind. As the genetic counselor, construct a Punnett square to determine the genotypic and phenotypic possibilities of their children. orange is due to heteroz means In human, assume that albinism is an autosomal recessive characteristic while hemophilia is X-linked recessive. An albino nonhemophiliac man has children with a normally-pigmented nonhemophiliac woman whose father was a hemophiliac and whose mother was albino. Calculate the phenotypes of the children they could produce.arrow_forward
- Mary has hemophilia, an X-linked recessive trait. From which of the following individuals could Mary NOT have inherited a hemophilia allele? O Her father O Her father's mother O Her mother's mother O Her father's father O Her mother's fatherarrow_forwardAdenike and her partner, Debare, are expecting their first child. Adenike is healthy as are her two sisters but her brother has PKU, a recessive disorder of the PAH gene. Genotypically he must be pah-/pah-. Neither of Adenike's parents has PKU but both of her grandmothers did. Debare is a carrier of Sickle Cell trait, which means he has one allele for wildtype hemoglobin (HbA) and one allele for Sickle Cell (HbS), making him HgA/HbS. More importantly, he has two alleles for Marfan Syndrome, a pleiotropic dominant disorder that can affect up to 30 different traits (M+/M+). No one in Debare's family has ever had PKU and no one in Adenike’s family has ever had Sickle Cell or Marfan Syndrome. They consult a genetics counselor over concern of the health of their baby. The genetics counselor collects the medical histories of three generations; their grandparents, their parents, and them. In her calculations, she produces a phenotypic key that indicates M = Marfan, Hb = sickle cell, and pah-…arrow_forwardPlease answer both questions in detail.

- In a parental cross for an autosomal MOI, the ratio (Disease phenotype):(WT phenotype) differ for the scenarios: (i) the father is affected and mother is unaffected; and (ii) the mother is affected and the father is unaffected. a) true b) falsearrow_forwardIn humans, the allele for normal opsins in the cones of the eyes, C, is dominant to the allele for colour- blindness, c. The trait is X-linked. A woman who is not colour-blind has a father who is colour-blind. If this woman has a child with a man who is colour-blind, what is the probability of them having a colour-blind son? Your response must include a Punnett square with correct nomenclature. Express your answer as a frequency between 0-1.arrow_forwardHemophilia is due to a sex-linked gene. It is recessive and found on the X chromosome. A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a normal man. What will be the possible phenotypes of their children? (use the letter “H”)arrow_forward
