Hemophilia is a disease caused by a gene found on the X chromosome. Therefore, it is a sex-linked disease which is caused by the recessive allele. Suppose, a man with hemophilia marries a woman who is homozygous dominant for the trait, what is the chance of having children who are hemophiliacs? (XH = normal; Xh= hemophiliac) * a. 0% b. 75% c. 100% d. 25%
Huntington's disease is an inherited autosomal dominant disorder that can affect both men and women. Imagine a couple has had seven children, and later in life, the husband develops Huntington's disease. He is tested and it is discovered he is heterozygous for the disease allele, Hh. The wife is also genetically tested for the Huntington's disease allele, and her test results show she is unaffected, hh. What is the percent probability that the first child of this couple will have Huntington's disease? probability: % What is the percent probability that two of the seven children will have Huntington's disease? probability: %
The chart below is showing 4 generations of a family that is affected by a hereditary disease. a. Is the disorder being tracked dominant or recessive? How do you know? b. There is only one possible genotype for person C. True or False? c. What are the possible genotypes for person A? d. What are the possible genotypes for person B?, e. If two people with the same genotypes as person C's spouse and person A's spouse had a child, what is the probability that the child will be affected by this genetic disorder? (draw a Punnett square using the correct genotypes to help you). % chance offspring will be affected % chance offspring will not be affected
The discovery of sex-linked traits came from a genetic experiment on flies. A white eyed male fly was discovered. The trait was discovered to be sex-linked recessive. To guarantee that the white eye trait is recessive, he did a cross of XRXr and XrY. Complete the Punnett Square. State the genotypes and phenotypes of the offspring.
Albinism is an autosomal (not sex-linked) recessive trait. A man and woman are both of normal pigmentation and have one child out of three who is albino (without melanin pigmentation). What are the genotypes of the albino's parents? Both parents must be homozygous dominant. Both parents must be heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous dominant; the other parent must be heterozygous. One parent must be heterozygous; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous. One parent must be homozygous for the recessive allele; the other parent can be homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, or heterozygous. O O O O O
Using the pedigree chart attached: Above is a pedigree for colorblindness. Based on the pedigree, is the disease dominant or recessive and is it sex-linked or autosomal? Why? Furthermore, what is the probability that 18 on this chart is affected but the condition, and what is the probability that 18 is a carrier? Why? Are the probability of being a carrier and an affected individual different? Why?

Sickle cell anemia is an inherited red blood cell disorder in which there are not enough healthy red blood cells to carry oxygen throughout the body. The allele that causes sickle-cell anemia is autosomal recessive (s), and the dominant allele can be represented by S. How many offspring will be affected by the disorder if the mother is a carrier, and the father appears to be normal? (Include the gender) a. b. How many will become carriers? (include the gender) A- 三三三四四 II !!
15. The following pedigree shows inheritance of Huntington's disease, a fatal genetic disorder that causes neurodegeneration. Since signs and symptoms usually do not appear until adulthood, many who are carriers may not realize their risk of passing on the disease-causing allele. The following pedigree represents a family in which some people are affected by Huntington's disease. Reeessive Trit er btmnt be Mec yplicalty Hinhetee
A gene that controls the ability to see red and green is located on the X chromosome but not on the Y chromosome. There is a recessive nonfunctional allele for this gene that can cause red-green color blindness if the person possessing it does not also have the dominant normal gene. Consider the case of a carrier mother who is heterozygous for the red-green vision gene and a father who has normal vision. Use XB = normal vision, Xb = color-blind vision. What is the chance the parents would have a color-blind boy? A color-blind girl? What about a girl or boy with normal vision? Redo the Punnett square for a carrier mother (XBXb) and a color-blind father (XbY). Do the chances of having color-blind children change? How?
Draw a pedigree chart for the following scenarios and answer the questions: 1. A woman's sister has cystic fibrosis, a disease caused by recessive genes. Neither of her parents has the disease. What chance is there that her mother is a carrier (heterozygous) for the trait? What chance is there that the woman herself is a carrier for the trait? 2. Huntington's disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system which does not show up until age 40. It is caused by a dominant gene. John's father just began to show the symptoms. What is the chance that John will have the disease? 3. The pedigree below shows the blood types of some individuals. List all of the possible genotypes of the individuals and determine the blood group AND genotype of the missing blood groups. B AB
A type of baldness is sex –limited such that the allele that causes it is dominant in men and recessive in women. Thus baldness is much more common in men than women even though the locus is on an autosome. How is the pattern of inheritance in this example different from X-linked inheritance of a recessive allele? Group of answer choices A. the trait can be passed from fathers to sons B. the trait can be passed from fathers to daughters C. the trait can be passed from mothers to sons D. the trait can be passed from mothers to daughters
