You have been hired to produce a family tree for three generations of a family where a disorder called “blinky” syndrome is observed.

While Annie’s sister has yet to have kids, her brother married a blinky sufferer. Mike’s mother is a blinker while his father is normal. Mike’s brother is just like their mother. In addition, this brother married a blinker. Mike’s sister is normal - as is her husband and their one boy.  Draw a pedigree chart below in order to answer the following on the next page. Use the letters A and a for the genotypes. If more than one genotype is possible for an individual - you may write it as A with a dash - e.g. A-   Use your pedigree chart to answer the following questions: a. Annie’s brother and his wife have two kids – a blinking boy and a normal girl.
