Chapter 10.8, Problem 2MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The genotype of the individual in the first row of the given diagram.
Introduction:
Genes present on autosomes exhibit two types of inheritance pattern, autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive. Autosomal dominant condition is expressed when a person inherits one or two copies of a disease-causing allele. The autosomal recessive condition requires the person to receive the disease-causing allele from both the parents. Therefore, each parent must carry at least one copy of each allele.

- Define the pedigree symbol(s) associated with each of the following individuals. Please be as specific as possible. Be sure to indicate WHOSE pedigree symbols you are defining. (i) II-1 and II-3 (ii) II-5 (iii) II-9-10 (iv) II-11 (v) IV-14 and IV-15 (vi) IV-18arrow_forwardThe individuals with a certain disease are shown in this pedigree. The disease is caused by an autosomal recessive allele, q. Give the genotype of the following individuals: (a) III-1 (the girl at lower left corner) (b) II-1 (the girl’s mother) (c) II-2 (the girl’s father)arrow_forwardThe genotype of EB27 and EB67 are unknown. Based on pedigree, what are the most likely genotype of each individual?arrow_forward
- Ali and Ayşe have a sibling with PKU (a recessive disorder). Neither Ali nor Ayşe nor any of their parents have the disease. Draw the pedigree for this family and calculate the probability that if this couple has a child with PKU.arrow_forwardCystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that runs in Ann's family. Consider the figure of a pedigree of the known occurrences of cystic fibrosis in her family. Ann Filled (red) circles represent affected females. Filled (red) squares represent affected males. Unfilled (tan) circles, such as Ann's circle, represent symptomless females. Unfilled (tan) squares represent symptomless males.arrow_forwardIn pedigrees, individuals are usually specified by using a Roman numeral for their generation in the chart and an Arabic number for their position (reading left to right) within that generation. If we use the letter c for the allele that causes cystic fibrosis, what are the genotypes of individuals III-3 and III-4 (the third and fourth individuals shown in generation III) in the pedigree that shows this disease?arrow_forward
- From the given pedigree below, fill the table and answer the question: If the proband (III-2) marries a heterozygous woman, what is the probability that they will have a heterozygous daughter? If this same couple has a son, what is the probability that he will be affected? Show complete solutions and box or highlight your final answers.arrow_forwardShown above is a family pedigree tree in which family members afflictedwith the disease Haemophilia are shown with filled-in squares (male) or circles (females). A couple is trying to determine the likelihood of passingon the disease to their future children (represented by the ? symbolabove) because the hemophilia runs in the woman’s family. Turner syndrome is a disease in which an individual is bornwith only a single X chromosome. Suppose the woman in thecouple is a carrier for hemophilia and has a child with Turnersyndrome. Would this child have the disease?arrow_forwardGiven the pedigree below, identify the genotypesarrow_forward
- Each generation is represented by a Roman Numeral and each individual by a number. Based on the pedigree above, there are 2 generations. I-1 is the male parent and l-2 is the female parent. Generation Il are their children, with Il-1 as the eldest (daughter), Il-2 the middle child (son) and II-3 another daughter as the youngest. An arrow that points to any individual in the pedigree chart identifies the individual as a proband, an individual affected with a disorder (II-3 in the pedigree above) who is the first subject in a study (as of a genetic character in a family lineage) (Merriam-Webster.com). The proband can be specified in the problem. Answer the following using the spaces provided. 1. This pedigree tracks the inheritance of freckles, an autosomal dominant trait, for 3 generations. Determine the genotypes of all individual in the chart. 1-1 III-1 II-2 Il-1 1-2 Il-2 Il-3 Il-4 III-3 III-4 Il-5 III-5 III-6 If III-6 marries someone without freckles, is it possible for them to have…arrow_forwardA typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele. Use the below pedigree chart and your knowledge on how to interpret a pedigree chart to answer questions # 7-9. 1 Nn nn nn 3 nn 7. Is individual #1 most likely homozygous dominant or heterozygous? Explain how you can tell. 8. What is the genotype of individual #2? Explain how you can tell. 9. What is the genotype of individual #3? Explain how you can tell. 2)arrow_forwardRefer to the pedigree below for this question. Individuals who are shaded have a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Those who are not shaded have the dominant phenotype. Let "A' and a represent the dominant and recessive alleles, respectively. Fill in the probability functions below to indicate the genotype or probability function for the genotype af each individual. Give all probabilities as fractions that are simplified to the lowest value. Type your fractions in ## format without spaces. For example, one-half should be typed as 1/2. Place a zero in each space that does not have a number.
