- Is this pedigree autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recressive? Can you please label each square or circle with the correct genotypes?arrow_forwardEctrodactyly 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?arrow_forwardChands syndrome is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by very curly hair, underdeveloped nails, and abnormally shaped eyelids.

- In the human pedigree shown below, black filled symbols indicate individuals suffering from a rare genetic disease, whereas empty symbols represent people who do not have the disease. Based on the pedigree, what is the most likely mode of inheritance of this rare genetic disease? O Y-linked OX-linked dominant Autosomal recessive O Autosomal dominant OX-linked recessivearrow_forwardPropose 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.arrow_forwardYOUR SISTER DIED FROM TAY-SACHS DISEASE, INHERITED AS A RECESSIVE ALLELE (t). you're married and planning to start your family. you're worried about the disease and decide to have genetic testing to see if you or your spouse is a carrier of the tay-sachs allele. the test results show that you're a carrier of the allele, but your spouse isn't. what is the probability that you and your spouse will have a child with tay-sachs disease? show your work.arrow_forward
- Ann's family has a history of cystic fibrosis, a recessive genetic disease. In the pedigree, family members who are afflicted with the disease are shown in red. Members who are unafflicted may or may not be carriers. Which of the given family members can be identified definitively as unafflicted carriers of cystic fibrosis?arrow_forwardThe pedigree below represents the inheritance of a rare genetic disorder (members joining the pedigree are not carriers). Consider the following pedigree and answer questions (i) to (vii) below. The allele descriptors are B/b. What is the mode of inheritance in this pedigree ? Y-linked inheritance X-linked recessive inheritance X-linked dominant inheritance Autosomal recessive inheritance Autosomal dominant inheritance What is the genotype of individual III-2 ? a) XbXb b) XBXB c) XBXb d) Bb e) bb What is the genotype of individual IV-3 ? a) XbXb b) XBXB c) XBXb d) Bb e) bb Individual IV-4 and an unaffected woman is planning a family.

- 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.arrow_forwardHypophosphatemia is a dominant genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of phosphates in the blood. Assuming the other parent is free of the disorder, males with the disorder will pass it on to all their daughters, but not their sons. Females with the disorder will pass it on to approximately half of their children. Is this pattern of inheritance autosomal or sex-linked? Draw Punnett squares to show the inheritance pattern of the disorder in each of the two scenarios.arrow_forwardFor each of the listed modes of single gene inheritance (assuming complete penetrance), indicate whether it is POSSIBLE or IMPOSSIBLE, given this pedigree. nс Autosomal recessive 11 [Select] Autosomal dominant [Select] Autosomal recessive, sex-limited to males [Select] Autosomal dominant, sex-limited to males [Select] 13 Autosomal recessive, sex-limited to females [Select] Autosomal dominant, sex-limited to females [Select] Autosomal, sex-influenced, dominant in males [Select] Autosomal, sex-influenced, dominant in females [Select] X-linked recessive [Select] Y-linked [Select] X-linked dominant [Select] X-linked recessive, sex-limited to females [Select] X-linked dominant, sex-limited to females [Select] X-linked, sex-limited to males [Select] X-linked, sex-influenced, dominant in females [Select] X-linked, sex-influenced, recessive in females [Select]arrow_forward
