Question
What is the penetrance of this trait? i.e., What is the ratio between the number of individuals in the pedigree who display the trait (numerator) and the number of individuals you know from the pedigree must have the trait-determining genotype (denominator)?
Enter your answer in the form of a fraction without any spaces. e.g., If your answer is “one-fourth”, enter: 1/4

- The following pedigree represent a disease that is very rare in the human population and completely penetrant. What is the mode of inheritance? What is the probability that a child indicated with an "A" will inherit the disease? SHOW YOUR WORK. A? Enr the toolhar prees Al T+F10 (PC)gr ALT+EN+F10 (Mar)arrow_forwardJoseph is heterozygous for the traits F (dominant to f) and B (dominant to b)and his genes are in cis, and these locuses are on the same chromosome and separated by 30 map units. Sara is also heterozygous for these traits but here genes are in trans. Calculate how likely it would be to observe an individual who is homozygous dominant for the genes F and B. Be sure to show your work for full credit.arrow_forwardA family tree of sorts is called a pedigree. The symbols used for a pedigree are: female, unaffected female, affected ☐male, unaffected male, affected I 11 III 1 Pedigree Chart Minor Peta #2 Siblings are placed in hirth order from left to right and are labeled with Arabic numerals. Each generation is labeled with a Roman numeral. Therefore, the male exhibiting the trait in the pedigree below in the bottom, center would be identified as III-4. 1. Which members of the family above are affected by Huntington's Disease? 4. How many girls did II-1 and 11-2 have? 3. How many children did individuals 1-1 and 1-2 have? 2. There are no carriers for Huntington's Disease- you either have it or you don't. With this in mind, is Huntington's disease caused by a dominant or recessive trait? 5. How are individuals III-2 and II-4 related? 8 -Huntington's Diseasearrow_forward
- For this pedigree, give the most likely mode of inheritance, assuming that the trait is rare. For the pedigree, what is the probability that III-4 and III-5 will have a boy AND he will be affected?arrow_forwardA cross is performed between a pure-breeding pea plant with round and yellow seeds and a pure-breeding pea plant with wrinkled and green seeds. All F1 progeny have round and yellow seeds. The F1 plants are self-crossed. The following results are observed in the resultant F2 generation: 65 round and yellow, 42 round and green, 50 wrinkled and yellow, and 45 wrinkled and green. Use a Chi Square analysis to determine whether these traits follow Mendel’s law of independent assortment. Show all calculationsarrow_forwardSuppose two parents, a father with the genotype AaBbccDd and a mother with the genotype aaBbCcDd, want to have children. Assume the loci are inherited independently of each other. Enter your answers as the most simplified fractions (e.g. 1/8 instead of 2/16). What proportion of the offspring are expected to have: The same genotype as the father? The same phenotype as the father? All dominant phenotypes? All recessive phenotypes?arrow_forward
- In a dihybrid cross (2 sets of alleles, independently assorted) each parent (heterozygous for both traits) can have 4 combinations of alleles in their gametes), so to calculate the odds for inheritance of particular genetic combinations, we must draw out 16 squares. In the case of our purple/yellow and starchy/sweet corn kernels, we can calculate the odds of the possible phenotypes. Purple & starchy: purple & sweet: yellow & starchy: yellow & sweet, can be calculated as O 9:2:2:3 9:3;3;1 O 5:4:4:3arrow_forwardAnswer only number 2arrow_forward
