- Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a human hereditary disease resulting from the inability of the body to process the chemical phenylalanine, which is contained in the protein we eat. PKU is manifest in early infancy and, if it remains untreated, generally leads to cognitive impairment. PKU is caused by a recessive allele with simple Mendelian inheritance. A couple intends to have children but consults a genetic counselor because the man has a sister with PKU and the woman has a brother with PKU. There are no other known cases in their families. They ask the genetic counselor to determine the probability that their first child will have PKU. What is this probability?arrow_forwardGenetic Inheritance Patterms Retinitis pigmnentosa (RP) can be autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or x-linked. Apparently the dominant forms are often less severe. Eric's form of RP is Usher's Syndrome, which is an autosomal recessive inheritance (i.e., you must get a copy of the defective gene from your Mom and one from your Dad). Autosomal means it is not carried on one of the chromosomes that determines sex. Usher's Type II is recessive, so for Eric this means that both his Mom and Dad are carriers of this condition. His brother, Dirk, does not have any symptoms of RP. Question below - short answer approach Imagine you are a genetics counselor, and Dirk, Erik's brother, comes in to see you. Based on his parents, what are Dirk's possible genotypes for RP? What advice would you give Dirk about the chances of Dirk's children having retinitis pigmentosa if his wife is not a carrier? How would your advice change if his wife fully has the disease? Describe all the possibilities,…arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions about the pedigree shown (below).
