The following pedigree shows the pattern of inheritance of red-green color blindness in a family. Females are shown as circles and males as squares; the squares or circles of individuals affected by the trait are filled in black. What is the chance that a son of the third-generation female indicated by the arrow will be color blind if the father is not color blind? If he is color blind?
In the following pedigree, is the disorder’s mode of inheritanceautosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive?Explain your reasoning.
Examine the following pedigree: -O O X-linked dominant O Autosomal recessive O X-linked recessive O Autosomal dominant TO What is the mode of inheritance for the trait mapped in this pedigree?
Ectrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent, and the hand is split. It is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. What do the double horizontal lines mean between III-1 and III-4? Is the pedigree below consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance?
Ectrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent and the hand is split. This condition is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Ademar Freire-Maia reported the appearance of ectrodactyly in a family in São Paulo, Brazil, whose pedigree is shown here. Is this pedigree consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance? If not, what mode of inheritance is most likely? Explain your reasoning.
What is the most likely pattern of inheritance for this disorder? (Is it autosomal dominant? Autosomal recessive? X-linked dominant? X-linked recessive? Y-linked? Mitochondrial?) Please include two specific pieces of evidence, present within the pedigree, that indicate that this pattern is most likely, as opposed to any other potential pattern. You may assume that the gene responsible for the trait is fully penetrant.
Consider the two very limited unrelated pedigrees shown here. Of the four combinations of X-linked recessive, Xlinked dominant, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant, which modes of inheritance can be ruled out in each case? (a) (b) II 1
Is this pedigree dominant or recessive. Which best defines this pedigree Autosomal or sex-linked?
For the following problems, please choose from the following modes of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive 8080 50 OTO ㅁㅇㅇㅁ I. What is the most likely mode of inheritance portrayed in the pedigree above?
The following pedigree shows the inheritance of a human disorder. Affected individuals are shown with filled symbols. II III 2 3 5 Based on the pedigree, propose the least likely inheritance pattern of the disease among autosomal dominance, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominance and X-linked recessive. Your choice of answer can be impossible and possible. Explain your answer by giving the evidence that supports or opposes each mode of inheritance. You can reconstruct the table shown below and draw the pedigree in your answer script. Write the possible genotype of each individual in the pedigree for each inheritance pattern proposed. Mode of Possibility Explanations Pedigree inheritance Autosomal dominance Autosomal recessive X-linked dominance X-linked recessive
Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele. Assume complete penetrance. I II III 3 IV 1 2 a. Is it possible for the inheritance pattern for the trait illustrated in this pedigree to be as a result of each of the following? Answer yes or no. (i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR) (ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD) (iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR) (iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Based strictly on the characteristic patterns of inheritance that define the four different options in (a), give a definitive motivation for the most likely mode of inhertance.
Propose the most likely mode of inheritance (autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive) for the following pedigrees. Affected individuals are shown with filled (black)symbols.
